Section 2.1. (A) Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord the Premises for the Term to commence, subject to Article 23, on the Commencement Date and to end on the Fixed Expiration Date, unless earlier terminated or extended as provided herein.

(B) Landlord shall give Tenant five (5) Business Days’ notice of the date on which Landlord’s Work is expected to be Substantially Completed (such date, the “Stated Commencement Date”). Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s Work shall have been Substantially Completed, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a punchlist (“Tenant’s Punchlist”) of Punchlist Items. For purposes of this Lease, “Punchlist Items” shall mean minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustments that remain incomplete, the non-completion of which do not, either individually or in the aggregate, interfere in any material respect with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business on the Premises. Landlord shall diligently complete the Punchlist Items within a reasonable amount of time (but in no event more than thirty (30) days, other than with respect to long lead-time items specified by Landlord at the time such Punchlist Items are identified) following delivery of Tenant’s Punchlist.

(C) Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written agreement, substantially in the form annexed as Schedule E, confirming the Commencement Date and the Fixed Expiration Date fixed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall execute such agreement and return it to Landlord within five (5) Business Days thereafter. Any failure of the parties to execute such written agreement shall not affect the validity of the dates specified therein for the Premises fixed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease as aforesaid. Any dispute as to whether and when Substantial Completion has occurred shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease.

(D) In the event the Commencement Date does not occur by August 30, 2016 (the “First Delivery Date”), subject to extension by reasons of Unavoidable Delays or Tenant Delays, Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, shall receive liquidated damages in the amount of one (1) day of Fixed Rent for each day that the Commencement Date does not occur beyond the First Delivery Date (as the same may have been extended), until the Commencement Date shall occur, to be applied as a credit against the initial payments of Fixed Rent due hereunder.

 

12


(E) In the event the Commencement Date does not occur by March 1, 2017 (the “Outside Delivery Date”), subject to extension by reason of Unavoidable Delays or Tenant Delays, provided that any adjournment on account of Unavoidable Delays shall not exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate, then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delay in the occurrence of the Commencement Date (in lieu of Tenant’s receipt of any liquidated damages in accordance with Section 2.1(D) above), to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days written notice (a “Late Delivery Termination Notice”) given to Landlord within the twenty (20) day period immediately following the Outside Delivery Date (but prior to the occurrence of the Commencement Date), with time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of such termination right. If Tenant shall timely give a Late Delivery Termination Notice in accordance with this Section 2.1(E), this Lease shall terminate effective as of the thirtieth (30th) day after the date such notice is given by Tenant, as if such termination date were the Fixed Expiration Date; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date shall occur prior to such thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of the Late Delivery Termination Notice, then Tenant’s exercise of such right to terminate this Lease shall be null and void, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the Late Delivery Termination Notice had not been given. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Commencement Date shall occur prior to such thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of the Late Delivery Termination Notice and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with Section 2.1(D) above.

Section 2.2. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America, without notice or demand, by good and sufficient check drawn to the Landlord’s order on a bank or trust company which is a member of the Clearinghouse Association at the office of Landlord or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time, the following:

(A) commencing upon the Commencement Date, the Fixed Rent, at the annual fixed rental rates set forth in the Reference Page, which shall be payable in equal monthly installments of Fixed Rent in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term, except that the first (1st) monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the Premises shall be payable by Tenant upon the execution of this Lease; and

(B) commencing upon the Commencement Date, additional rent (“Additional Rent”) consisting of all other sums of money (including, without limitation, Escalation Rent) as shall become due from and be payable by Tenant hereunder (for default in the payment of which Landlord shall have the same remedies as for a default in the payment of Fixed Rent).

Section 2.3. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, or the Expiration Date is other than the last day of a calendar month, Fixed Rent for such month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

Section 2.4. Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent when due without abatement, deduction, counterclaim, setoff or defense for any reason whatsoever, except said abatement as may be occasioned by the occurrence of any event permitting an abatement of Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent as specifically set forth in this Lease.

 

13


Section 2.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Tenant shall receive an aggregate rent credit (i) in the amount of $565,040.67 (the “Aggregate Tenth Floor Premises Rent Credit”), to be applied in eight (8) equal installments of $70,630.08 against the amounts of Fixed Rent due hereunder with respect to the Tenth Floor Premises for the first eight (8) months of the Term; (ii) in the amount of $556,365.36 (the “Aggregate Eleventh Floor Premises Rent Credit”), to be applied in eight (8) equal installments of $69,545.67 against the amounts of Fixed Rent due hereunder with respect to the Eleventh Floor Premises for the first eight (8) months of the Term; and (iii) in the amount of $293,450.64 (the “Aggregate Penthouse Space Rent Credit”), to be applied in eight (8) equal installments of $36,681.33 against the amounts of Fixed Rent due hereunder with respect to the Penthouse Space for the first eight (8) months of the Term. The Aggregate Tenth Floor Premises Rent Credit, the Aggregate Eleventh Floor Premises Rent Credit and the Aggregate Penthouse Space Rent Credit are in this Lease collectively referred to as the “Aggregate Rent Credit.” If, however, this Lease shall terminate due to an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder or if this Lease shall be rejected in the case of a bankruptcy, the Aggregate Rent Credit shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in the event that Tenant’s right to the Aggregate Rent Credit shall be suspended during any period in which an Event of Default is continuing, immediately following Tenant’s cure of such Event of Default, any portion of the Aggregate Rent Credit not so taken by reason of such Event of Default shall be applied to the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent then due hereunder.

Section 2.6. Except as expressly set forth in the Work Agreement, Tenant shall have no right to access the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Any access by Tenant to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Work Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

ESCALATION

Section 3.1. For the purposes of this Article 3, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(A) “Taxes” shall mean the aggregate amount of real estate taxes and any general or special assessments (exclusive of penalties and interest thereon) imposed upon the Real Property (including, without limitation, (i) assessments made upon or with respect to any “air” and “development” rights now or hereafter appurtenant to or affecting the Real Property, (ii) any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Government Authority for any vaults, vault space or other space within or outside the boundaries of the Real Property (except that Taxes shall not include such fee, tax or charge to the extent that Landlord leases or licenses such vaults or vault spaces to a third party), and (iii) any assessments levied after the date of this Lease for public benefits to the Real Property or the Building, other than BID Charges (as hereinafter defined); provided that if, because of any change in the taxation of real estate, any other tax or assessment, however denominated (including, without limitation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, use, occupancy, gross receipts or rental tax) is imposed upon Landlord or the owner of the Real Property or the Building, or the occupancy, rents or income therefrom, in substitution for any of

 

14


the foregoing Taxes or for an increase in any of the foregoing Taxes, such other tax or assessment shall be deemed part of Taxes computed as if Landlord’s sole asset were the Real Property. If any such real estate taxes or assessments are payable in installments without interest, premium or penalty, then Landlord shall include in Taxes for any particular Tax Year only the installment of such real estate taxes or assessments that the applicable Governmental Authority requires Landlord to pay during such Tax Year, provided that Landlord has previously paid such amount or will pay such amount during such Tax Year. With respect to any Tax Year, all expenses, including customary attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ and other witnesses’ fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any Taxes or in obtaining a refund of Taxes shall be considered as part of the Taxes for such Tax Year. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) Taxes shall not be deemed to include any penalties or interest that the applicable Governmental Authority imposes for the late payment of such real estate taxes or assessments, or (a) any taxes on Landlord’s income, (b) franchise taxes, (c) estate or inheritance taxes, capital stock, excise, excess profits, gift, payroll or stamp taxes imposed on Landlord, (d) any transfer taxes or mortgage taxes that are imposed on Landlord in connection with the conveyance of any interest in the Real Property or granting or recording a mortgage lien thereon, or (e) any similar taxes imposed on Landlord, except to the extent such taxes are levied, assessed or imposed as a substitute for the whole or any part of, or as a substitute for an increase in, the taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges and impositions that now constitute Taxes and (y) Taxes shall be calculated without giving effect to any tax exemption, abatement or deferral program or reduction which the Real Property or any portion thereof may now or hereafter receive pursuant to any governmental incentive program (including, without limitation, the ICAP) to the extent, and for the duration of, such exemption, abatement or deferral program or reduction.

(B) “BID Charges” shall mean any business improvement district charges imposed on the Building and/or the Land, and any expenses incurred by Landlord in contesting the same.

Section 3.2. Tenant’s Tax Payment.

(A) Tenant shall pay as Escalation Rent for each Tax Year, (I) commencing on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, an amount (“Tenant’s BID Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Tax Share of the BID Charges for the applicable Tax Year; and (II) commencing on July 1, 2017, an amount (“Tenant’s Initial Tax Payment”) equal to (a) $21,670.50 (or $0.75 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2017/2018 Tax Year; (b) $43,341.00 (or $1.50 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2018/2019 Tax Year; (c) $65,011.50 for the 2019/2020 Tax Year (or $2.25 per RSF of the Premises); (d) $86,682.00 (or $3.00 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2020/2021 Tax Year; and (e) $108,352.50 (or $3.75 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2021/2022 Tax Year.

(B) Commencing on July 1, 2022, Tenant shall pay as Escalation Rent for each Tax Year throughout the remainder of the Term, an amount (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”) equal to the sum of (I) Tenant’s BID Payment for the applicable Tax Year; (II) Tenant’s Tax Share of the amount by which the Taxes for such Tax Year are greater than the Base Tax Factor, and (III) Tenant’s Initial Tax Payment of $108,352.50. Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (subject to the further

 

15


provisions of this Section 3.2), the first of which shall be due within twenty (20) days after receipt of a Landlord’s Tax Statement, regardless of whether such Landlord’s Tax Statement is received prior to, on or after the first day of such Tax Year (but subject to Section 3.4), and the remaining installments shall be due on the first day of each month thereafter. If there is any increase in Taxes or any increase in BID Charges for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, or if there is any decrease in the Taxes or in BID Charges for any Tax Year during such Tax Year, Landlord shall furnish a revised Landlord’s Tax Statement for any Tax Year affected, and Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be adjusted and, (a) within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of such revised Landlord’s Tax Statement, Tenant shall (with respect to any increase in Taxes and/or BID Charges for such Tax Year) pay the appropriate increase in Tenant’s Tax Payment to Landlord, or (b) (with respect to any decrease in Taxes and/or BID Charges for such Tax Year) Landlord shall, at its election, either credit such decrease in Tenant’s Tax Payment against the next installment(s) of Rental payable by Tenant or refund the amount of such decrease within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of any refund by check to the order of Tenant, or, if at the end of the Term, there shall not be any further installments of Rental remaining against which Landlord can credit any decrease in Taxes and/or BID Charges due Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s check in the amount of the refund due Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of any refund. If, during the Term, Taxes or BID Charges are required to be paid (either to the appropriate taxing authorities or as tax escrow payments to the Lessor or the Mortgagee), in full or in quarterly or other installments on any other date or dates than as presently required, then Tenant’s Tax Payments shall be correspondingly accelerated or revised so that Tenant’s Tax Payments are due at least thirty (30) days prior to the date payments are due to the taxing authorities, the Lessor or the Mortgagee. The benefit of any discount for any early payment or prepayment of Taxes or BID Charges shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes and BID Charges shall be computed without subtracting such discount. The provisions of this Section 3.2(B) shall survive the Expiration Date.

(C) Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce Taxes or BID Charges. If, after a Landlord’s Tax Statement has been sent to Tenant, a refund of Taxes or BID Charges is actually received by or on behalf of Landlord, then, promptly after receipt of such refund, Landlord shall send Tenant a Landlord’s Tax Statement adjusting the Taxes and BID Charges for such Tax Year (taking into account Landlord’s expenses therefor to the extent not already reflected in the calculation of Taxes) and setting forth Tenant’s Tax Share of such refund, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive such amount by way of a credit against the Rental payable by Tenant or, if at the end of the Term, there shall not be any further installments of Rental remaining against which Landlord can credit any refund due Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s check in the amount of the refund due Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of any refund; provided, however, that Tenant’s Tax Share of such refund shall be limited to the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment, as applicable, which Tenant had theretofore paid to Landlord attributable to increases in Taxes or BID Charges for the Tax Year to which the refund is applicable.

(D) Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s BID Payment and any credits with respect thereto as provided in this Section 3.2 shall be made as provided in this Section 3.2 regardless of the fact that Tenant may be exempt, in whole or in part, from the payment of any taxes by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic or other tax exempt status or for any other reason whatsoever.

 

16


(E) Tenant shall pay to Landlord within twenty (20) days after demand as Additional Rent any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted, if payable by Landlord in the first instance or hereafter required to be paid by Landlord.

(F) Each Landlord’s Tax Statement furnished by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s BID Payment shall, at Tenant’s request, be accompanied by a copy of the real estate tax bill or bills for the Tax Year referred to therein, but Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver more than one such copy of the real estate tax bill or bills in respect of any Tax Year, and Landlord’s failure to deliver such copy shall not affect Tenant’s obligations as to amount or due date(s) thereof.

(G) If the Base Tax Factor subsequently shall be adjusted, corrected or reduced whether as the result of protest, by means of agreement or as the result of legal proceedings, the Base Tax Factor for the purpose of computing any Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Article shall be the Base Tax Factor as so adjusted, corrected or reduced. Until the Base Tax Factor is so adjusted, corrected or reduced, if ever, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent hereunder based upon the unadjusted, uncorrected or unreduced Base Tax Factor and upon such adjustment, correction or reduction occurring, any Additional Rent payable by Tenant prior to the date of such occurrence shall be recomputed and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any Escalation Rent found due by such re-computation within twenty (20) days after being billed therefor.

(H) If the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than July 1 or June 30, respectively, any Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s BID Payment under this Article 3 for the Tax Year in which such Commencement Date or Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from the Commencement Date to June 30 or from July 1 to the Expiration Date, as the case may be, both inclusive, bears to the total number of days in such Tax Year. In the event of a termination of this Lease, any Escalation Rent under this Article 3 shall be paid or adjusted within twenty (20) days after submission of a Landlord’s Statement. In no event shall Fixed Rent ever be reduced by operation of this Article 3 and the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article 3 with respect to any Escalation Rent shall survive the Expiration Date.

Section 3.3. Landlord’s failure to render any Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Landlord’s Statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Tax Year, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for that Tax Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to render a Landlord’s Statement for a particular Tax Year unless Landlord gives to Tenant a Landlord’s Statement for such Tax Year within three (3) years after the later of (i) the last day of such Tax Year and (ii) the date on which any contest of Taxes with respect to such Tax Year is finally determined or settled with the applicable taxing authority.

 

17


Section 3.4. Any Landlord’s Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless, within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Landlord’s Statement is sent, Tenant shall send a written notice to Landlord objecting to such Landlord’s Statement and specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the respects in which such Landlord’s Statement is disputed.

ARTICLE 4

ELECTRICITY

Section 4.1.

(A) Landlord shall provide throughout the term of this Lease a demand electrical load of six (6) watts per rentable square foot (exclusive of the electricity to operate the Building Systems, but inclusive of all electricity utilized by any supplemental air-conditioning equipment serving the Premises) to be furnished to the Premises (the “Base Electrical Capacity”), and in no event shall the electrical load in the Premises exceed the Base Electrical Capacity. Tenant shall have the right to redistribute the Base Electrical Capacity within the Premises as Tenant shall deem appropriate, subject to Landlord’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 6), and provided that Tenant shall have the obligation to restore such electrical capacity of the Premises to its condition prior to such distribution on or prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any interruption or failure or defect in the supply or character of electric service furnished to the Premises or for any loss, damage or expense Tenant may sustain if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer suitable for Tenant’s requirements, by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building.

(B) Subject to the terms of this Section 4.1(B), Tenant, from time to time, shall have the right to request that Landlord increase the Base Electrical Capacity set forth in Section 4.1(A) hereof by making available to Tenant excess electrical capacity that is then available in the Building (such availability to be determined in Landlord’s discretion giving due consideration to the then current and future needs of the Building) to the extent such excess capacity exists (and is not reserved for other tenants or occupants of the Building) and Tenant has a bona-fide need for such additional electrical capacity evidenced by a load letter provided by a reputable independent third party electrical engineer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Landlord shall make such excess capacity available to Tenant, (i) Landlord shall perform any work that is required in connection with any such increase in electrical capacity at Tenant’s expense and (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Electricity Additional Rent, in addition to the Electricity Additional Rent provided for in Section 4.2(A) of this Lease, a one-time fee equal to the Landlord’s then Excess Capacity Charge for each kilowatt of excess capacity so made available to Tenant. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord’s “Excess Capacity Charge” is equal to $300 per kilowatt, Subject to CPI Adjustment on each anniversary of the Commencement Date.

 

18


Section 4.2. (A) Landlord, as part of Landlord’s Base Building Work, shall provide a bus duct, new switch and main electric distribution panels in the electrical closet to be located on each floor of the Premises and as otherwise shown on the Plans and Specifications listed on Schedule R. As of the Commencement Date, electricity shall be furnished by Landlord to 120/208V, 175 amp main electrical distribution panels located on each of the tenth floor and the eleventh floor of the Premises, and to a 120/208V, 200 amp main electrical distribution panel located on the penthouse floor of the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent for such electrical service (including any electricity used to service any supplemental air-conditioning unit(s) providing air-conditioning exclusively to the Premises and any Building Systems serving the Premises, including, without limitation, the HVAC units provided by Landlord to cool the Premises), one hundred five percent (105%) of the amounts (the “Electricity Additional Rent”), as determined by an existing submeter or submeter(s) which shall be installed by Landlord, as part of Landlord’s Base Building Work (which submeter(s) shall be maintained, repaired and replaced by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense), at the same charges and rates per kilowatt hour that Landlord pays for electricity, as set from time to time during the Term by the public utility serving the Building, applied to the monthly readings on such submeter(s) totalized electronically (at Landlord’s expense) so as to represent the coincidental demand for the Premises as if measured via a single demand meter. The location and type of submeter(s) to be installed by Tenant in replacement of any existing submeter(s) serving the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(B) Bills for the Electricity Additional Rent shall be rendered to Tenant monthly within thirty (30) days of the end of the period covered by such bills, and Tenant shall pay the amount shown thereon to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the rendering of such bill. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall send Tenant with respect to any bill for Electricity Additional Rent a summary of the meter readings for each of Tenant’s submeters and the applicable utility bill for the portion of the Building of which the Premises is a part. Tenant and its representatives shall have access, from time to time, to the submeters measuring consumption in the Premises on reasonably prior notice to Landlord for the purpose of verifying Landlord’s submeter readings. As of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide online access for Tenant to monitor Tenant’s electrical consumption in the Premises. Tenant shall not have the right to object to Landlord’s calculation of the Electricity Additional Rent unless Tenant gives Landlord notice of any such objection on or prior to the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant the applicable invoice for the Electricity Additional Rent. If Tenant gives Landlord a notice objecting to Landlord’s calculation of the Electricity Additional Rent, as aforesaid, then Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord’s submeter readings and Landlord’s calculation of the Electricity Additional Rent, at Landlord’s offices or, at Landlord’s option, at the offices of Landlord’s managing agent, in either case at reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice to Landlord. Either party shall have the right to submit a dispute regarding the Electricity Additional Rent to expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease.

(C) Wherever reference is made in this Article to rate(s) or charge(s) of the public utility supplying electricity to the Building or to increases in such rates or charges, the words rates or charges shall be deemed to include without limitation, any and all (including any new or additional): (i) kilowatt hours or energy charge; (ii) kilowatts of demand charge; (iii) fuel adjustment charge; (iv) transfer adjustment charge; (v) utility tax; (vi) sales tax, and (vii) any and all other charges and taxes required to be paid by Landlord to the utility company.

 

19


(D) If at any time during the Term any of the submeter(s) serving the Premises are not in working order, then until the repair of such submeter(s) Tenant shall pay for electrical consumption for such portion of the Premises at a rate based on the average amounts incurred as Electricity Additional Rent for the remainder of the Premises, or if not available, based on Tenant’s prior usage and demand, in each case as reasonably estimated by Landlord.

(E) If Tenant occupies the Premises or any portion thereof for the conduct of its business or otherwise prior to the installation of the submeter(s) serving the Premises, then until the installation of such submeter(s), Tenant shall pay $2.50 per RSF so occupied per annum, which amount shall be prorated if the period of such occupancy prior to the installation of such submeter(s) involves a portion of a year. Such rates may be increased by an amount equal to any increase in the cost of electricity furnished to the Building.

Section 4.3. Tenant covenants and agrees that its use of electric current in the Premises shall never exceed the demand load specified in this Section 4.1. Tenant agrees not to connect any electrical equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system, other than lamps, personal computers, typewriters, copiers and other typical office machines which consume comparable amounts of electricity, without Landlord’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 4.4. Landlord reserves the right to terminate the furnishing of electricity to the Premises upon sixty (60) days’ notice to Tenant in which event Tenant may make application directly to the public utility and/or other provider then serving the Building for Tenant’s separate supply of electric current, and Landlord shall permit its wires and conduits to be used for such purpose, to the extent available and safely capable, but only to the extent of Tenant’s authorized demand load as set forth in Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not cease furnishing electricity to the Premises until Tenant has procured electric service to the Premises on a direct-metered basis from the public utility or other provider then serving the Building, provided that Tenant shall use diligent efforts to do so from and after the receipt of Landlord’s notice. Any meters, risers or other equipment or connections necessary to enable Tenant to obtain electric current directly from such utility and/or other provider shall be installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost and expense of such installations in the event Landlord voluntarily ceases furnishing electricity to the Premises (other than to the extent required by applicable Requirements). Landlord, upon the expiration of the aforesaid sixty (60) days’ notice to Tenant, subject to the foregoing, may discontinue furnishing electric current to the Premises, but this Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. If Landlord shall discontinue furnishing electricity as provided herein, then commencing on the date when Tenant receives such direct service (and as long as Tenant shall continue to receive such direct electric service), Tenant shall not be required to pay the Electricity Additional Rent which was payable immediately prior to such discontinuance of electricity.

Section 4.5. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select any entity or entities which it desires to have as the electrical service provider to the Building (including the Premises), and Tenant shall not have the right to select the same or participate in the selection of the same, except to the extent that any Requirement mandates that Tenant have any such right(s).

 

20


Section 4.6. Tenant shall conduct routine maintenance on lighting fixtures, supplementary air conditioning and appliances in order to maintain maximum energy efficiency. To that end, Tenant shall ensure that energy-efficient settings are enabled on all computers and other equipment to the maximum extent feasible and shall turn off equipment at the power point during periods when it is expected that same will not be in use, such as during holidays, weekends and vacations. Tenant shall arrange and require its employees working in the Premises to participate in any annual training regarding energy savings. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in conducting energy savings audits and shall participate in any Landlord-sponsored training programs regarding energy savings.

ARTICLE 5

For purposes of the preceding clause (23), “pornographic” shall mean that the material or purpose has prurient appeal or relates, directly or indirectly, to lewd or prurient sexual activity and “obscene” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in New York Penal Law Section 235.00. Furthermore, the Premises shall not be used for any purpose that would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, tend to lower the first-class character of the Building, violate the certificate of occupancy of the Building, impair or interfere with any of the Building operations or the proper and economic heating, air-conditioning, cleaning or any other services of the Building (other than to a de minimis extent), interfere with the use of the other areas of the Building by any other tenants, or impair the appearance of the Building.

Section 5.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, Landlord hereby acknowledges that Tenant may construct in a portion of the Penthouse Space not to exceed one thousand (1,000) usable square feet a fitness center, including showers and locker rooms for users thereof and gym flooring (the “Fitness Center”) for use by Tenant’s personnel and business invitees in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and in accordance with the terms of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Lease in installing and maintaining the Fitness Center, including, without limitation, Article 6 and Article 9 hereof, as well Landlord’s reasonable requirements in the construction and maintenance of the Fitness Center which shall include, without limitation, subject to Landlord’s approval of plans and specifications therefor in accordance with Article 6 of this Lease, the installation of a waterproof membrane under any portion of the Fitness Center used for showers, reinforced floors (if necessary in Landlord’s determination) and noise-dampening installations (if necessary, in Landlord’s determination) so as to limit the water, noise and vibrations emanating from the Fitness Center.

ARTICLE 6

ALTERATIONS

Section 6.1.

(A) Tenant, upon at least ten (10) days written notice to Landlord, but without obtaining Landlord’s consent, may make Alterations within the Premises which do not require a building permit and are purely decorative in nature, such as painting, carpeting, wall covering, and the like (such Alterations, hereinafter “Decorative Alterations”) and other Alterations not of the type described in clauses (1) through (5) of the following sentence that cost in the aggregate less than $150,000 in any twelve (12) month period and do not require a building permit (“Minor Alterations”). Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any other Alterations without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that (1) the outside appearance of the Building shall not be affected; (2) the strength of the Building shall not be affected; (3) the structural parts of the Building shall not be affected; (4) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, no part of the Building outside of the Premises shall be affected; and (5) the proper functioning of the Building Systems shall not be adversely affected and the use of such systems by Tenant shall not

 

22


be increased beyond Tenant’s allocable portion of reserve capacity thereof, if any. Reference is made to the Construction Rules and Regulations annexed to this Lease as Schedule F and incorporated herein by reference. Any dispute between the parties as to whether Landlord’s withholding or delay of its consent to a proposed Alteration is reasonable shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease.

(B) (1) Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, (i) other than with respect to Decorative Alterations and Minor Alterations, submit to Landlord three (3) sets of blue lines of final, stamped and detailed plans and specifications (including layout, architectural, electrical, mechanical and structural drawings) that comply with all Laws for each proposed Alteration, and Tenant shall not commence any such Alteration without first obtaining Landlord’s approval of such plans and specifications in accordance with subsection (2) below, (ii) at Tenant’s expense, obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Government Authorities, and (iii) furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing worker’s compensation insurance (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, in connection with such Alteration) and commercial general liability insurance (including premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent contractors, products and completed operations, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage coverages) in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably approve, and as otherwise specified in Schedule H annexed to this Lease, naming Landlord and its agents, any Lessor and any Mortgagee, as additional insureds. Within thirty (30) days after completion of such Alteration, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain certificates of final approval of such Alterations required by any Government Authority and shall furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with the “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations, in AutoCad, Release 14 format, on CD Rom, or such other format as shall from time to time be reasonably designated by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall submit Tenant’s plans and specifications to applicable Government Authorities in such format as may be required by such Government Authorities. All Alterations shall be made and performed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor as approved by Landlord, all Laws and the Construction Rules and Regulations. All materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of any Alterations shall be first quality and no such materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage, title retention or security agreement. In addition, except for Decorative Alterations and Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, (x) any Alteration to be performed by or on behalf of a party other than the original named Tenant or a permitted successor for which the cost of labor and materials (as reasonably estimated by Landlord’s architect, engineer or contractor) is in excess of Seventy Five Thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars, either individually or in the aggregate with any other Alteration constructed in any twelve (12) month period, shall not be undertaken prior to Tenant’s delivering to Landlord such security for timely lien-free completion thereof as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (y) all Alterations shall be performed only under the supervision of a licensed architect reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(2) Landlord shall respond to the proposed plans and specifications referred to in Section 6.1(B)(1)(i) within fifteen (15) Business Days after submission (and within ten (10) Business Days after any resubmission), but Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of Landlord’s failure to respond within such time period. In the event that Landlord fails

 

23


to respond within the foregoing time period, and Tenant thereafter provides Landlord with a second notice of its proposed plans and specifications (provided such notice shall be delivered in writing in accordance with Article 27 and state in eighteen-point bold, capital letters the following: “IF LANDLORD DOES NOT RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, LANDLORD’S APPROVAL OF THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE DEEMED GRANTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 6.1(B)(2) OF THE LEASE.”), and Landlord fails to respond to such second notice within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt thereof, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed plans and specifications in connection with such Alteration. Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any plans and specifications in part, to reserve approval of items shown thereon pending its review and approval of other plans and specifications, and to condition its approval upon Tenant making revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information. Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect to any Alteration is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant or any other Person with respect to the adequacy, correctness or sufficiency thereof or with respect to Laws or otherwise.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, Tenant shall be entitled to make Department of Building filings through the professional certification filing procedure. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to submit a scope set of plans and specifications to Landlord prior to one hundred percent (100%) completion of the plans and specifications for a particular Alteration (other than with respect to any of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work), provided that Landlord shall have the right to condition its approval of items shown on such incomplete plans and specifications pending its review and approval of one hundred percent (100%) complete plans and specifications for such Alteration. Landlord shall execute any applications for any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Tenant in connection with any permitted Alteration (provided that the applicable Requirement requires Landlord to execute such application) within seven (7) Business Days after Tenant’s request from time to time and shall otherwise cooperate reasonably with Tenant in connection therewith. Landlord agrees to so execute any such applications promptly after Tenant’s submittal of plans and specifications even if the subject Alteration has not yet been approved by Landlord provided that Landlord’s execution of any such application shall not in any way be deemed to mean that Landlord has consented thereto. Nothing contained herein shall obviate Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s approval to an Alteration as otherwise required in this Article 6. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any out-of-pocket costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that Landlord incurs in so executing such applications and cooperating with Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor from time to time.

(C) (1) Except as otherwise provided Construction Rules and Regulations, Tenant shall be permitted to perform Alterations during Operating Hours, provided that such work does not, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, generate excessive noise or vibration or otherwise interfere with or interrupt the operation and maintenance of the Building or interfere with or interrupt the use and occupancy of the Building by other tenants in the Building. Otherwise, Alterations shall be performed at Tenant’s expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate.

 

24


(2) All Alterations (including Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work) shall become a part of the Building and shall be Landlord’s property from and after the installation thereof and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, may not be removed or changed without Landlord’s consent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, however, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, prior to the Fixed Expiration Date, or, in the case of an earlier termination of this Lease, within thirty (30) days after such termination, shall remove all (i) Specialty Alterations, including those included as part of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and (ii) subject to Section 6.1(C)(3), such other items installed by or on behalf of Tenant after the date of this Lease which are unusually difficult and/or expensive to remove as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (the items described in this clause (ii) are referred to herein as “Additional Specialty Alterations”); provided, however, that (x) Tenant may elect, by written notice delivered to Landlord no later than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date (the parties hereby agreeing that TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to such date and that Tenant shall have no right whatsoever to make the election provided for in this Section 6.1(C)(2)(x) if such notice is not delivered to Landlord on or prior to such date), not to remove one or more Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations before the Expiration Date, in which event (I) Landlord shall submit to Tenant a budget (the “Removal Budget”) for the costs of removal of such Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations (such Removal Budget to include the costs of repairing and restoring any damage to the Building or the Premises caused thereby, together with a fee equal to five (5%) percent of all such costs) (collectively, the “Removal Costs”), (II) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on or before the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Removal Budget, (III) in the event the Removal Costs incurred by Landlord exceed the Removal Budget, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such excess Removal Costs within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice therefor together with reasonable supporting documentation for the charges set forth therein and (IV) in the event the Removal Costs incurred by Landlord are less than ninety percent (90%) of the Removal Budget, Landlord shall refund to Tenant, on or before the first anniversary of the Expiration Date, the amount by which the Removal Budget exceeds the Removal Costs incurred by Landlord and (y) if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing prior to the Expiration Date that Landlord desires all or any of such Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations to remain in the Premises, then any such items designated in such notice shall remain in the Premises and shall not be removed by or on behalf of Tenant. In making its election pursuant to clause (x) above, Tenant shall be reasonable in its determination of which Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations to not remove, taking into account matters of cost and time efficiency of the work required with respect to both Landlord and Tenant in connection with the removal of all Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations (by way of example, for illustrative purposes only, Tenant electing not to remove a staircase, but electing to fill in the staircase upon its removal by Landlord, would be unreasonable). Upon any removal of any Alterations by Tenant, Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and workerlike manner to Building standard condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. The provisions of this Section 6.1(C)(2) shall survive the Expiration Date, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse Landlord for the costs of removing any Specialty Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations that Landlord did not remove or commence removing on or before the first anniversary of the Expiration Date. In no event shall the failure to remove any Specialty

 

25


Alterations and/or Additional Specialty Alterations from the Premises after Tenant has otherwise vacated possession thereof be deemed to constitute a holdover. Any dispute as to whether Landlord’s determination of an Additional Specialty Alteration is reasonable or whether Tenant’s determination as to which Specialty Alterations or Additional Specialty Alterations it wants Landlord to remove and which Tenant will remove is reasonable shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease.

(3) At the time of giving its consent thereto or in the case of Minor Alterations, if so requested by a Tenant’s Additional Specialty Alterations Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such items of Alterations (including Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work) that constitute Additional Specialty Alterations which, subject to the terms of Section 6.1(C)(2) of this Lease, Tenant shall be required to remove from the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The term “Tenant’s Additional Specialty Alterations Notice” shall mean a notice accompanying the submission of Tenant’s plans and specifications for Landlord’s approval of proposed Alterations (or in the case of Minor Alterations, to give notice of same to Landlord) stating in eighteen-point bold capital letters the following: “THIS NOTICE IS BEING GIVEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.1(C)(3) OF THE LEASE. PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION, LANDLORD IS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY TENANT OF THOSE ITEMS (IF ANY) OF THE PROPOSED ALTERATIONS THAT CONSTITUTE ADDITIONAL SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS THAT TENANT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE FROM THE PREMISES UPON THE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THE LEASE.” In the event that Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Additional Specialty Alterations Notice at the time of giving consent to such proposed Alteration, Landlord shall be deemed to have determined that such proposed Alteration does not constitute an Additional Specialty Alteration.

(4) All Tenant’s Property shall remain the property of Tenant and, during the Term, may be removed from the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s option, provided, however, that Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and workerlike manner to Building standard condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal.

(5) The provisions of this Section 6.1(C) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(D) (1) All Alterations shall be designed and performed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by consultants, contractors and subcontractors selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and under the supervision of a construction or project manager approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any structural Alterations and/or Alterations affecting the sprinklers or the Class E System of the Building, (i) the final connection to the base Building System shall be as provided in Section 6.1(D)(3) below, and (ii) the Alteration shall, at Tenant’s reasonable expense, be designed by either Landlord’s or the Manager’s engineer. In addition, Tenant shall employ Landlord’s or the Manager’s designated expediter with respect to any filings with, or other submissions to, applicable Government Authorities in connection with any of Tenant’s Alterations. As of the date of this Lease (but subject to future change by Landlord in its sole discretion), Landlord’s designated expediter is Milrose Consultants, Inc.

 

26


(3) Tenant shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of all fire alarm devices within the Premises. Final connection to the base Building System for life safety shall be performed by Landlord’s fire alarm vendor, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the extent commercially reasonable. Landlord’s fire alarm vendor must be contracted directly by Tenant or Tenant’s general contractor for the performance of such work. At no time shall Landlord’s fire alarm vendor be subcontracted by Tenant’s electrician. All installations of fire alarm devices must be approved by the New York City Department of Buildings (the “Building Department”) and the New York City Fire Department (“FDNY”). Any so-called “Letters of Defect” issued by the Building Department or FDNY must be promptly and diligently corrected, and so-called “Letters of Approval and Completion” must be obtained by Tenant within forty-five (45) days after Tenant’s fire alarm devices shall have been installed and connected to the base Building System for life safety.

(4) All sprinklers, including without limitation, any branch piping, sprinkler heads and pre-action panels to be installed in the Premises, must be installed in compliance with all Requirements (including without limitation, the NYC Code), at Tenant’s cost and expense (other than items to be installed as part of Landlord’s Base Building Work). Prior to FDNY inspection, Tenant shall cause all new sprinkler installations to be hydrostatically tested (it being agreed that arrangements for such testing must be upon notice to and coordinated with Landlord).

(E) (1) Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, other than Landlord’s Work, shall be cancelled or discharged by Tenant, by payment or filing of the bond required by law, within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall have received notice of such lien, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages resulting therefrom by reason thereof.

(2) If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic’s lien within the aforesaid period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in court or bonding, and in any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such mechanic’s lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and allowances.

(3) Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid charges and for all reasonable expenses of Landlord (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending any such action, discharging said lien or in procuring the discharge of said lien, with interest on all such amounts at the Applicable Rate, shall be repaid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, and all amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be considered Additional Rent.

 

27


(F) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will seek to obtain a LEED Gold certificate for the core and shell of the Building, and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, to obtain certification of compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 with respect to the interior Alterations, equipment and trade fixtures, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design, in the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing provision, Landlord requests that Tenant comply with the following, it being acknowledged that such compliance shall be in Tenant’s sole discretion: (i) that Tenant provide air measuring station/airflow monitor at all air handling units introducing outside air, with accuracy of 5% over the design outside air flow rate, and alarming the Building personnel through the base Building management system if it falls below the design minimum air flow set point by 10% or more, (ii) that all Alterations made by Tenant shall meet all applicable energy savings and/or energy efficient building code requirements and that if there is a conflict between the building code requirements and those set forth in this Lease, the requirements calling for higher energy savings and efficiency apply, (ii) that Tenant install in the Premises Energy Star rated appliances, including dishwashers, refrigerators, vending machines and water coolers, and Energy Star rated office equipment, including computers, monitors, printers, faxes and scanners, (iv) that Tenant ensure that any lighting installed by Tenant in the Premises complies with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 by either the space by space or building area method, including the following: (a) Tenant use compact fluorescents or light emitting diodes in place of incandescent and halogen bulbs for accent lighting and down lighting. Alternative lighting with energy efficiencies equal to or greater than compact fluorescents may also be used and (b) that high efficiency electronic ballasts be considered for fluorescent tubes and that fluorescents tube fixtures and down lighting fixtures shall also have interior reflective surfaces where possible, (v) that Tenant install timers, dimmers or programmable lighting controls throughout the Premises, as follows: (a) such that all lighting installed by or on behalf of Tenant is controlled by occupancy or motion sensors arranged to control open plan office areas of 1,000 square feet or less and within all individual offices, conference rooms and general use rooms and (b) such that in connection with lighting installed by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant provide capacity to adjust light levels in all areas where natural light is available and that in addition to occupancy or motion sensors, the zone extending from all glazed perimeter walls is additionally controlled by light level sensors coordinated with the occupancy or motion sensors and connected to dimmers adjusted to maintain appropriate office lighting levels at desk surface levels, and (vi) that to the extent feasible, Tenant locate refrigeration and other heat-generating equipment where such equipment can be adequately ventilated, and also shall locate refrigerators in an area of the Premises that is not within direct sunlight or near another heat source.

Section 6.2. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for any reasonable third party out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for (x) reviewing the plans and specifications for any Alterations (and, for the avoidance of doubt, including Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work), or (y) inspecting the progress of completion of any Alterations (but excluding Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work). Landlord shall not be entitled to any other supervisory or similar fee with respect to any Alterations (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Landlord’s Work).

Section 6.3. Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, and upon the request of Tenant, shall join in any applications for any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Tenant in connection with any permitted Alteration (provided that the provisions of the applicable Laws

 

28


shall require that Landlord join in such application), including, without limitation, but subject to Section 17.1, any change in use and any Public Assembly permit required by Tenant and shall otherwise cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense or liability in connection therewith.

Section 6.4. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord copies of records of all Alterations and of the cost thereof within thirty (30) days after the completion of such Alterations.

Section 6.5. Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that Landlord has or intends to avail itself of certain abatements of Taxes under the Industrial and Commercial Abatement Program (“ICAP”) in connection with the renovation of the Building. Tenant agrees, at Landlord’s cost and expense with respect to actual and reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection herewith (including, without limitation, an ICAP consultant retained by Tenant), to comply with all laws, rules, executive orders, and requirements of New York City government departments relating to ICAP within the time limits prescribed by law or rule, including, but not limited to, the filing requirements of the Department of Finance (“DOF”) and the Department of Small Business Services (“DSBS”) as they may be modified from time to time (“ICAP Requirements”), provided Landlord shall explicitly advise Tenant of its obligation in sufficient detail and with sufficient notice for Tenant to comply; and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord with respect to Landlord’s application for ICAP benefits and compliance with the ICAP Requirements. The requirement to so cooperate shall survive the term of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that timely compliance with the ICAP Requirements may require actions or the delivery of information prior to the issuance of any building permit, solicitation of bids for construction work or commencement of construction of Alterations, and provided that Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.5, Landlord shall timely comply with the ICAP Requirements to the extent such requirements have a negative impact on Tenant’s ability to obtain a building permit or Tenant is prevented from performing Tenant’s Work (and actually does not perform the same). Where compliance with the ICAP Requirements involves submission of a document to Landlord for transmission to DOF and the collection of data of any reasonable sort, Tenant shall provide such documentation and data within a reasonable period of time after such request by Landlord, provided, however, that Landlord shall advise Tenant, in its written request, of the dates needed for submission and compliance and, provided further, that Tenant has a reasonable period of time to produce such materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to provide such document not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that submission to DOF is required or if sooner requested by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such request. Tenant shall cause all of its construction managers, contractors and subcontractors employed in connection with Alterations to be contractually required by Tenant to comply with all ICAP Requirements, including requirements relating to solicitation of bids from Minority and Women Owned Enterprises (“M/WBE”) and shall enforce such contractual obligation as necessary to assure timely compliance. Such requirements may include, but are not limited to the submission and approval of Construction Employment Reports to DSBS, attendance at a pre-construction conference with representatives of DSBS, notifying DSBS of subcontracting opportunities in connection with Tenant’s Alterations, solicitation of three M/WBE firms for each subcontracting opportunity, maintenance of records of such solicitations, the responses thereto and action taken on bids received, timely response to requests for information from DSBS, and certification of compliance with the M/WBE requirements. To the extent required by

 

29


the ICAP Requirements, and without limiting the generality of the agreement to comply with the ICAP Requirements, Tenant may be required to (1) permit inspection of the Premises by DOF employees or agents upon reasonable notice; (2) provide and update a list of all construction contracts and subcontracts signed in connection with any Alterations, identifying the trade, the name and address of the contractor or subcontractor and the amount of the contract, including any change orders; (3) direct its architect or engineer to prepare a narrative description of the project and a construction budget and to prepare revised project descriptions and budgets if there are material changes in the scope of any Alterations, (4) within thirty (30) days of substantial completion of the Alterations, obtain a certification by its architect or engineer that the project so described has been substantially completed; and (5) to permit an audit of the actual costs of construction by a certified public accountant. Tenant shall retain all records relating to Alterations and the construction costs, and respond within a reasonable period of time to requests for information from Landlord which may have been received from DOF. At Landlord’s written request, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date prescribed by law or rule (currently January 5 in every other calendar year), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a Certificate of Continuing Use, provided Landlord shall provide Tenant with a sample of such form, and provided further that Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time to produce the same after such written request. At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall also provide Landlord with the number of employees working in the Premises and the number who are residents of New York City.

Section 6.6. Tenant shall not, at any time prior to or during the Term, directly or indirectly employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, whether in connection with any Alteration or otherwise, if such employment would interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

Section 6.7. Subject to Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications therefor in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including the precise location of the same) and all Requirements, Tenant shall have the right to install, as an Alteration, a product display area within the Premises for the sole use of its employees and business invitees in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 5 hereof).

Section 6.8. Subject to all Requirements, Tenant shall have the right to make reasonable Decorative Alterations to the Convenience Stairs (such as painting, lighting and handrails), provided that in no event shall Tenant be permitted to paint over or cover up reflective glow tape in the Convenience Stairs, if any.

Section 6.9. In connection with any use of the Convenience Stairs, subject to Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications therefor in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including the precise location of the same) and all Requirements, and subject to applicable re-entry rules and regulations from time to time in effect, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense shall have the right to install as an Alteration and regularly maintain a security and control system with key-card access at the core doors between the Convenience Stairs and the

 

30


Premises, provided that (x) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall connect such security and control system to the Building Class E System and (y) Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least three (3) key cards to any such security system and update such key cards, at no cost or expense to Landlord, from time to time, if such update is necessary in order to permit such key cards to be operable. If Tenant installs any manual lock(s) between the Convenience Stairs and the Premises, such manual lock(s) shall have a base building lockset which is keyed to the Building’s stair masterkey and sub-mastered to Tenant’s key, or, at Tenant’s request, keyed alike.

ARTICLE 7

REPAIRS; FLOOR LOAD

Section 7.1. (A) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall take good care of the Premises and the fixtures, equipment and appurtenances therein (including, without limitation, any supplemental air-conditioning equipment serving the Premises) and make all repairs thereto as and when needed to preserve them in good working order and condition, except for (a) reasonable wear and tear, (b) obsolescence and (c) damage for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 or any other applicable provision of this Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s responsibilities with respect to Hazardous Materials and latent defects in Landlord’s Work. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any Building Systems or make any structural repairs or changes, except that Tenant shall maintain the fire and life safety system and its components (“Class E System”) within the Premises by entering into a maintenance contract with the Building’s Class E System contractor (provided that Tenant shall be responsible for paying the cost thereof only to the extent such contract is competitively priced). The design and decoration of the elevator areas of each floor of the Premises and the public corridors of any floor of the Premises occupied by more than one (1) occupant shall be under the sole control of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, all damage or injury to the Premises, and all damage or injury to any other part of the Building (including the Terrace), or to its fixtures, equipment and appurtenances (including the Building Systems), whether requiring structural or non-structural repairs, caused by the moving of Tenant’s Property or caused by or resulting from any act or omission of, or Alterations made by, Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, shall be repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord (if the required repairs are non-structural in nature and do not affect any Building Systems), or by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (if the required repairs are structural in nature or affect any Building Systems). All of the aforesaid repairs shall be performed in a manner and with materials and design of first class and quality consistent with first-class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 6. If Tenant shall fail, after five (5) Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as may be required because of an emergency), to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, and the expenses thereof incurred by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be paid to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after rendition of a bill or statement therefor. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any defective condition in any Building Systems located in, servicing or passing through the Premises.

 

31


(B) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 7.1(A), Tenant shall perform such maintenance and testing of Tenant’s (x) fire alarm devices and (y) sprinkler devices as shall be required pursuant to all applicable Requirements (including, without limitation, the NYC Fire Code). Scheduling of such maintenance and testing must be performed upon notice to and coordination with Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to so maintain its fire alarm devices and the same shall result in unnecessary or unwarranted activation of Tenant’s fire alarm devices and/or any fines or other charges, Tenant shall pay any such fines or other charges imposed on Landlord or the Building in connection therewith upon demand, as Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to so maintain its sprinkler devices and the same shall result in any fines or other charges imposed on Landlord or the Building in connection therewith, Tenant shall pay the same upon demand, as Additional Rent.

Section 7.2. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises which exceeds the per square foot “live load” that such floor was designed to carry. Tenant shall not locate or move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, business machines, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Tenant shall make payment to Landlord of Landlord’s costs in connection therewith (if such move is not part of an Alteration). If such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixture requires special handling (as reasonably determined by Landlord), Tenant shall employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s license to do said work. All work in connection therewith shall comply with the Requirements, and shall be done during such hours as Landlord may reasonably designate. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in settings sufficient, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.

Section 7.3.

(A) Landlord shall operate, maintain and make all necessary repairs (both structural and non-structural) to the Building Systems and the common areas and other public portions of the Building, both exterior and interior, in conformance with standards applicable to non-institutional, first class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, except for those repairs for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any service to the Terrace or to clean the same or to remove snow or ice from the Terrace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord determines that snow or ice shall be removed from the Terrace for safety reasons or to protect the structural integrity of the Terrace or the roof, Tenant shall afford Landlord access to the Terrace for such removal. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs in connection with such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord’s repair (or the condition that Landlord is required to repair) (i) denies Tenant from having reasonable access to the Premises, (ii) would endanger the health or safety of any occupant of the Premises, or (iii) materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises during Tenant’s ordinary business hours, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or incur other overtime costs in making such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements at Landlord’s cost, or in the

 

32


case of other repairs if Tenant shall so request, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, an amount equal to the excess costs incurred by Landlord by reason of compliance with Tenant’s request. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making, or failing to make, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises, or its fixtures, appurtenances or equipment.

(B) Subject to the terms of this Section 7.3 and except if in connection with or resulting from a Tenant Delay, an Unavoidable Delay, a fire or other casualty, condemnation or any event referred to in the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.3(B), if by reason of (i) Landlord’s failure to provide the services required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (ii) Landlord’s failure to perform Landlord’s covenants hereunder to repair and maintain the Building or (iii) Landlord’s performance of repairs, alterations or improvements in the Building, Tenant shall be unable to operate Tenant’s business in the Premises (or a portion thereof) in substantially the same manner that Tenant conducted its business prior to such event (and provided that Tenant is not occupying the Premises or such applicable portion thereof) for at least five (5) consecutive Business Days following the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of Tenant’s inability to so operate due to such event, the Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent thereafter coming due hereunder shall be abated as to the portions of the Premises that are unusable, determined on a per square foot basis, through the date that the applicable portion of the Premises becomes usable. If more than fifty percent (50%) of a floor of the Premises is so unusable for at least five (5) consecutive Business Days following the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of Tenant’s inability to so operate by reason of the event described in this Section 7.3(B) and Tenant is not using such floor for the ordinary conduct of business, the entire floor shall be deemed unusable and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent shall abate on the entire floor. If (x) Tenant is entitled to a credit against Rental pursuant to this Section 7.3(B), and (y) the Expiration Date occurs prior to the date that such credit is exhausted, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the unused portion of such credit on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date (and Landlord’s obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date). Nothing contained in this Section 7.3(B) shall be deemed to grant Tenant any rent abatement for an interruption in or stoppage of any service or in electricity to the Premises arising by reason of any cause emanating from outside the Building (including a failure by the electric service provider to supply electricity to the Building, other than as a result of a failure by Landlord timely to pay bills rendered to Landlord by the electric service provider or other negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.3(B) shall not apply with respect to the Terrace (and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent abatement with respect thereto).

Tenant shall not clean, nor require, permit, suffer or allow any window in the Premises to be cleaned, from the outside in violation of Section 202 of the Labor Law, or any other applicable law, or of the rules of the Board of Standards and Appeals, or of any other board or body having or asserting jurisdiction.

Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and after notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the legality or applicability of any Requirement affecting the Premises provided that: (a) neither Landlord nor any Indemnitees shall be subject to criminal penalties, nor shall the Real Property or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, nor shall the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building be suspended or threatened to be suspended, by reason of non-compliance or by reason of such contest; (b) before the commencement of such contest, if Landlord or any Indemnitees may be subject to any civil fines or penalties or if Landlord may be liable to any independent third party as a result of such non-compliance, then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord either (i) a bond of a surety company satisfactory to Landlord, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and in an amount at least equal to Landlord’s estimate of the sum of (A) the cost of such compliance, (B) the penalties or fines that may accrue by reason of such non-compliance (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) and (C) the amount of

 

35


such liability to independent third parties, and shall indemnify Landlord (and any Indemnitees) against the cost of such compliance and liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or non-compliance; or (ii) other security satisfactory in all respects to Landlord; (c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in a violation (either with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) of the terms of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, or if such Superior Lease or Mortgage conditions such non-compliance or contest upon the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken or such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord regularly advised as to the status of such proceedings.

ARTICLE 10

SUBORDINATION

Section 10.1. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to each Superior Lease and to each Mortgage, whether made prior to or after the execution of this Lease, and to all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof or thereto, substitutions therefor, and advances made thereunder. This clause shall be self-operative and no further agreement of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any Lessor superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, at its own cost and expense, any document, in recordable form if requested, that Landlord or any Lessor may request to evidence such subordination; and if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such document within five (5) days after request therefor, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document for and on behalf of Tenant. The foregoing subordination with respect to any Mortgage placed on the Real Property following the date of this Lease is conditioned upon any such Mortgagee executing such Mortgagee’s standard form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement (so long as such form is commercially reasonable), or, in the event such form is not commercially reasonable, a commercially reasonable subordination and non-disturbance agreement. Landlord and Tenant agree that the form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement annexed hereto as Schedule K is a commercially reasonable form. Upon written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute such commercially reasonable subordination and

 

36


non-disturbance agreement in favor of any Mortgagee within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written request, which request shall enclose the commercially reasonable subordination and non-disturbance agreement; and Tenant hereby agrees that if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such document within such ten (10) Business Day period, this Lease shall, upon the expiration such ten (10) Business Day period, be automatically subject and subordinate to the Mortgage with respect to which the request for Tenant’s execution of a subordination and non-disturbance agreement has been made, and in such case this clause shall be self-operative and no further agreement of subordination shall be required to make the interest of such Mortgagee superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall not do anything that would constitute a default under any Superior Lease or Mortgage, or omit to do anything that Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease so as to cause Landlord to be in default thereunder. If, in connection with the financing of the Real Property, the Building or the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease, or if, in connection with the entering into of a Superior Lease, any lending institution or Lessor, as the case may be, requests reasonable modifications of this Lease that do not increase rent or change the Term of this Lease, or materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall make such modifications.

Section 10.2. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, any Superior Lease shall terminate or shall be terminated for any reason, or any Mortgagee comes into possession of the Real Property or the Building or the estate created by any Superior Lease by receiver or otherwise, Tenant shall attorn, from time to time, to any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee or any person acquiring the interest of Landlord as a result of any such termination, or as a result of a foreclosure of the Mortgage or the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the event that a subordination and non-disturbance agreement is not entered into between Tenant and such owner, Lessor, Mortgagee or person acquiring the interest of Landlord, then such attornment shall be upon the then executory terms and conditions of this Lease (except as provided below), for the remainder of the Term, provided that such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, or receiver caused to be appointed by any of the foregoing, is then entitled to possession of the Premises, and any such attornment shall be made upon the condition that no such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee shall be:

(1) liable in any way for any act, omission, neglect or default of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), except to the extent that (x) such act or omission continues after the date that the successor succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property or the Building, and (y) such act or omission of such prior landlord is of a nature that the successor can cure by performing a service or making a repair or is otherwise required to be made pursuant to this Lease; or

(2) subject to any claim, defense, abatement, counterclaim or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Tenant from obtaining the cure of a default or breach of this Lease occurring prior to the date the successor succeeds to the interest of Landlord which continues after such succession and is of a nature that it may be cured by performing a service, making a repair or is otherwise required to be made pursuant to this Lease; or

 

37


(3) bound by any payment of Rental which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or

(4) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee succeeded to any prior landlord’s interest; or

(5) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee; or

(6) bound by any surrender or termination of this Lease (other than as expressly provided for in this Lease) made without the consent of such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, or any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the consent of such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, other than those amendments or modifications entered into as a result of Tenant’s exercise of any option contained in this Lease, provided such amendments or modifications contain no changes to this Lease other than those expressly related to such option as set forth in this Lease; or

(7) bound by any obligation (i) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, if any, shall have been delivered to such Lessor or Mortgagee by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise; (ii) with respect to any security deposited with Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to such Lessor or Mortgagee; (iii) to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon, subject to any right or alleged right of Tenant to any offset, defense (other than one arising from actual payment and performance), claim, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent or performance of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under this Lease, provided that such Lessor or Mortgagee shall have no obligation to perform such construction; (iv) to reconstruct or repair improvements following a fire, casualty or condemnation, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to its remedies under Article 13 and Article 14 of this Lease for such Lessor’s or Mortgagee’s failure to do so, except that such Lessor or Mortgagee shall not be required to make any payment to Tenant for any unused credit against Rental, which may be owed due to the Expiration Date occurring prior to the date that such credit is exhausted; or (v) to perform day-to-day maintenance and repairs; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, such Lessor or Mortgagee will perform the day to day maintenance and repair obligations of the Landlord under, and in accordance with, the terms of this Lease to the extent such obligations arise from and after the date that such Lessor or Mortgagee becomes owner of the Real Property and Tenant attorns to such Lessor or Mortgagee as described above.

The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall inure to the benefit of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Mortgage (to the extent a subordination and non-disturbance agreement has not been executed), and shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further agreement shall be required to give effect to said

 

38


provisions. Tenant, however, upon demand of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall execute, from time to time, agreements in confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, satisfactory to any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, and acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee.

Section 10.3. Intentionally omitted.

Section 10.4. At any time and from time to time within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant or Landlord given by the other, or to Tenant given by a Lessor or Mortgagee (which ten (10) day period is not subject to any notice and cure periods otherwise provided in this Lease), Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing addressed to such party as Tenant, Landlord, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, may designate, in form satisfactory to Tenant, Landlord, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, certifying all or any of the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (ii) whether the Term has commenced and Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the dates to which they have been paid; (iii) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, Landlord is in default in performance of any of the terms of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such event of default of which the signer may have knowledge; (iv) whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises; (v) whether Tenant has made any claim against Landlord under this Lease and, if so, the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim; (vi) either that Tenant does not know of any default in the performance of any provision of this Lease or specifying the details of any default of which Tenant may have knowledge and stating what action Tenant is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; (vii) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against Tenant before or by any court or administrative agency which, if adversely decided, would materially and adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Tenant or, if any such proceedings are pending or threatened to the knowledge of Tenant, specifying and describing the same; and (viii) such further information with respect to this Lease or the Premises as Landlord may reasonably request or Lessor or Mortgagee may require; it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Real Property or any part thereof or of the interest of Landlord in any part thereof, by any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee, by any Lessor or prospective Lessor, by any tenant or prospective tenant of the Real Property or any part thereof, or by any prospective assignee of any Mortgage or by any assignee of Tenant.

The failure of either Tenant or Landlord to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a statement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4 within said ten (10) day period shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, which may be relied on by any person who would be entitled to rely upon any such statement, that such statement as submitted by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, is true and correct.

Section 10.5. In the event of a default by Landlord under this Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of any other act or omission of

 

39


Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate this Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to the Lessor or Mortgagee and the Lessor or Mortgage has failed to cure the default, act or omission giving rise to the cancellation or termination within the time period as Landlord may be entitled to under this Lease plus a reasonable additional period, not to exceed sixty (60) days; provided, however, in the case of a non-monetary default, if such non-monetary default cannot be cured within such time period or cannot be cured until after the Lessor or Mortgagee obtains possession of the Real Property, then, provided the Lessor or Mortgagee gives notice to Tenant of its intent to so cure and commences such cure or commences proceedings under the Superior Lease or Mortgage during such cure period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, such cure period shall be extended as necessary to enable the Lessor or Mortgagee to effectuate such cure.

Section 10.6. Landlord represents that as of the date of this Lease there is no Superior Lease affecting the Real Property, and the only Mortgages encumbering the Real Property are (i) that certain Consolidated, Amended and Restated Term Loan Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2015, by Landlord, as borrower, in favor of Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, as lender (the “Existing Mortgagee”) and (ii) that certain Building Loan Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2015, by Landlord, as borrower, in favor of the Existing Mortgagee.

Section 10.7. Landlord shall obtain from the Existing Mortgagee a non-disturbance agreement in the form annexed hereto as Schedule K. With respect to any Superior Lease or Mortgage placed on the Real Property following the date of this Lease, in no event shall the failure of any such Lessor or Mortgagee, as applicable, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a subordination and non-disturbance agreement be considered a default by Landlord, give rise to any right or remedy of Tenant, create any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or affect this Lease in any manner. The only result of such failure shall be that this Lease shall not be subordinate to the applicable Superior Lease or Mortgage. Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any costs or to institute litigation to obtain any such non-disturbance agreement.

Section 10.8. Landlord shall use “commercially reasonable efforts ” (as defined below) to obtain from any Lessor a non-disturbance agreement in the form customarily used by such Mortgagee (or such Lessor, as applicable) providing in substance that, so long as Tenant shall not then be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable periods of notice and cure, Tenant’s possession of the Premises in accordance with this Lease shall not be disturbed by such Lessor or any successor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale (as the case may be) which shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease. For purposes of this Section 10.8, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean that Landlord made one written request of the applicable Lessor to deliver the non-disturbance agreement and has followed up such written request with two telephonic inquiries of such Lessor. Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any costs or to institute litigation to obtain such non-disturbance agreement.

All said policies of insurance shall be written as “occurrence” policies with general aggregate limit provided on a “per location” basis. Whenever, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, obtain such insurance coverage, at Tenant’s expense, provided that prudent landlords of first-class office buildings similar to the Building in the vicinity of the Building are generally requiring such amounts or types of insurance coverage.

(C) Workers’ compensation and occupational disease insurance and any other insurance in the statutory amounts required by the laws of the State of New York with broad form all-states endorsement, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of One Million and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) Dollars for each accident.

(D) All policies of insurance shall be: (i) written as primary policy coverage and not calling upon any other insurance procured by Landlord or any Lessor for defense, payment or contribution for loss or damage contractually obligated to indemnify under this Agreement; and (ii) issued by insurance companies rated in Best’s Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or, if there is none, an organization having a national reputation), as having a general policyholder rating of “A” and a financial rating of at least “X”, and which are legally authorized to do business in the State of New York. Tenant shall, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commencement Date, deliver to Landlord the policies of insurance or Acord 25 certificate of insurance evidencing all coverage required under this Lease and shall thereafter furnish to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policies and any renewal thereof, a new policy in lieu thereof or Acord 25 certificate of insurance evidencing all coverage required under this Lease. Tenant shall endeavor to provide in each of said policies a provision whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel, fail to renew, diminish or materially modify said insurance policy(ies) without having given Tenant, Landlord, the Manager and any Lessors and Mortgagees at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. Tenant shall promptly send to Landlord and the Manager a copy of all notices sent to Tenant by Tenant’s insurer.

(E) Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any payment when due or carry any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord, with interest thereon (at the Applicable Rate), shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant on demand, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Tenant with respect thereto.

Section 12.5.

(A) Landlord, shall at all times during the Term of this Lease, procure and continue in force (i) commercial general liability insurance covering the common areas of the Building, at limits no less than those required by Landlord’s mortgagee (or if Landlord does not have a mortgagee, at limits no less than those provided by prudent landlords of similar properties in Manhattan) and, (ii) Special Form “All Risk” property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and Landlord’s property therein (including improvements and betterments not otherwise the responsibility of Tenant as outlined hereinto) with no coinsurance limitation and including all coverages and perils as required by Landlord’s mortgagee (or if Landlord does not have a mortgagee, at limits no less than those provided by prudent landlords of similar properties in Manhattan).

 

43


(B) Landlord shall cause each policy carried by Landlord insuring the Building against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by Tenant and insuring the Premises and the Terrace and Tenant’s Alterations, leasehold improvements (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work) and Tenant’s Property against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, to be written in a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, Tenant and any tenant of space in the Building in connection with any loss or damage covered by any such policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the amount of such loss or damage including any applicable deductible or self-insured retention caused by fire or any of the risks enumerated in its policies, provided that such waiver was obtainable at the time of such loss or damage. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 12.5, shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released, but no action or rights shall be sought or enforced against such party unless and until all rights and remedies against the other’s insurer are exhausted and the other party shall be unable to collect such insurance proceeds. The waiver of subrogation referred to in this Section 12.5(B) shall extend to the agents and employees of each party (including, as to Landlord, the Manager).

ARTICLE 13

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE

Section 13.1. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3 below, proceed with reasonable diligence, after receipt of the net proceeds of insurance, to repair or cause to be repaired such damage at its expense, but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair any damage to or to restore any of Tenant’s leasehold improvements or Alterations (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work), whether initially installed by Landlord or Tenant. Tenant shall repair and restore in accordance with Article 6 and with reasonable dispatch all leasehold improvements and Alterations (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work) made by or for Tenant in the Premises. If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage, then the Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent hereunder, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Premises so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Premises shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the repair of such damage shall have been substantially completed. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Lease to the contrary, there shall be no abatement with respect to any portion of the Premises which has not been so damaged and which is usable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business (and no abatement shall be applicable to the Terrace), provided, however, that if more than fifty percent (50%) of a floor of the Premises is so unusable and Tenant in its reasonable judgment cannot operate its business in the remainder of such floor that is usable, the entire floor shall be deemed unusable and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent shall abate on the entire floor. Any dispute as to whether Tenant cannot operate its business in the remainder of such floor shall be determined by expedited arbitration commenced by either party in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease. Landlord’s determination of the date when the Premises are tenantable shall be controlling unless Tenant disputes the same by notice to Landlord given within ten (10) Business Days after such

 

44


determination by Landlord, and pending resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall commence the payment of the Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent that had been abated, as of the date specified by Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and any Lessor or any Mortgagee in their efforts to collect insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) payable to such parties. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, or any other cause beyond the control of Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord.

Section 13.2. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord, in reliance upon Section 12.4, will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Alterations and on leasehold improvements (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work), and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. In the event of a partial or total destruction of the Premises, Tenant shall as soon as practicable remove any and all of Tenant’s Property from the Premises or the portion thereof destroyed (and Tenant shall remove any Tenant’s Property from the Terrace if requested by Landlord in connection therewith), as the case may be, and if Tenant does not promptly so remove Tenant’s Property, Landlord may discard the same after giving Tenant ten (10) Business Days prior notice of the same or may remove Tenant’s Property to a public warehouse for deposit or retain the same in its own possession and at its discretion may sell the same at either public auction or private sale, the proceeds of which shall be applied first to the expenses of removal, storage and sale, second to any sums owed by Tenant to Landlord, with any balance remaining to be paid to Tenant; if the expenses of such removal, storage and sale shall exceed the proceeds of any sale, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord upon demand.

Section 13.3.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 above, in the event that:

(i) at least one-third of the RSF of the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty so that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by fire or other casualty and without regard to the structural integrity of the Building); or

(ii) the Premises shall be totally or substantially damaged or shall be rendered wholly or substantially untenantable; or

(iii) the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by fire or other casualty and without regard to the structural integrity of the Building) that its repair or restoration requires more than one year or the expenditure of more than thirty percent (30%) of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty (as estimated in any such case by a reputable contractor, registered architect or licensed professional engineer designated by Landlord);

 

45


then Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage. In the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of termination stated in said notice with the same effect as if that were the Fixed Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. For the purpose of Section 13.3(iii) only, “full insurable value” shall mean replacement cost, less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floors of the Building.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.3, upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an estimate prepared by a reputable contractor selected by Landlord setting forth such contractor’s estimate as to the time reasonably required to repair such damage. If the period to repair set forth in any such estimate exceeds fifteen (15) months (or, if the estimated date by which such repair shall be substantially completed shall not be a date that is at least twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given not later than thirty (30) days (with time of the essence) following Tenant’s receipt of such estimate. If Tenant exercises such election, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the thirtieth (30th) day after notice of such election given by Tenant with the same effect as if that were the Fixed Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. If Tenant does not elect to so terminate this Lease, and if the repair work is not substantially completed within ninety (90) days after the date originally estimated by the contractor or within such period after such ninety (90) day period as shall equal the aggregate period Landlord may have been delayed in commencing or completing such repairs by a Tenant Delay and/or an Unavoidable Delay, then Tenant shall have the further right to elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given not later than thirty (30) days (with time of the essence) following the expiration of the foregoing ninety (90) day period and such election shall be effective upon the expiration of sixty (60) days after the date of such notice, unless the repairs are substantially completed within such sixty (60) day period.

Section 13.4. Except as may be provided in Section 12.5, nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord or to Landlord’s insurers in connection with any damage to the Premises or the Building (including the Terrace) by fire or other casualty if Tenant shall be legally liable in such respect.

Section 13.5. If this Lease is terminated as a result of a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall be entitled to retain for its benefit the proceeds of insurance maintained by Tenant on the Alterations and leasehold improvements (but not on Tenant’s Property) in the Premises.

Section 13.6. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or any part thereof by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.

ARTICLE 14

EMINENT DOMAIN

Section 14.1. If the whole of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises is acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were the Fixed Expiration Date. If only a part of the Real Property and not the entire Premises is so acquired or condemned then, (1) except as hereinafter provided in this Section 14.1, this Lease and the Term shall continue in effect but, if a part of the Premises is included in the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Tax Share shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation; (2) whether or not the Premises are affected thereby, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of vesting of title, a sixty (60) day notice of termination of this Lease; and (3) if the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned contains more than thirty (30%) percent of the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable access to the Premises (excluding the Terrace), Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may give to Landlord, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Tenant receives notice of vesting of title, a sixty (60) day notice of termination of this Lease. If any such sixty (60) day notice of termination is given, by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said sixty (60) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said sixty (60) days were the Fixed Expiration Date. If a part of the Premises is so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term are not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, shall restore that part of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit, exclusive of Tenant’s Alterations, Tenant’s leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property (but including Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work). In the event of any termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.1, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of sooner termination and any prepaid portion of the Fixed Rent or Escalation Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

Section 14.2. In the event of any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the value of any Tenant’s Property included in such taking, and for any moving expenses, so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced thereby.

Section 14.3. If the whole or any part of the Premises is acquired or condemned temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all items of Rental payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use, provided, however, that:

 

47


(A) if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period not extending beyond the Term and if such award or payment is made less frequently than in monthly installments, the same shall be paid to and held by Landlord as a fund which Landlord shall apply from time to time to the Rental payable by Tenant hereunder, except that if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, changes or alterations are required to be made to the Premises which would necessitate an expenditure to restore the Premises, then a portion of such award or payment considered by Landlord as appropriate to cover the expenses of the restoration shall be retained by Landlord, without application as aforesaid, and applied toward the restoration of the Premises as provided in Section 14.1; or

(B) if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date; Tenant’s share thereof, if paid less frequently than in monthly installments, shall be paid to Landlord and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (1) above; provided, however, that the amount of any award or payment allowed or retained for restoration of the Premises shall remain the property of Landlord if this Lease expires prior to the restoration of the Premises.

ARTICLE 15

ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, MORTGAGE, ETC.

Section 15.1. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 15, Tenant shall not (a) assign this Lease (whether by operation of law, transfers of interests in Tenant or otherwise); or (b) mortgage or encumber Tenant’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part; or (c) sublet, or permit the subletting of, the Premises or any part thereof; or (d) permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise by any person other than Tenant. Tenant shall not advertise or authorize a broker to advertise for a subtenant or assignee, without in each instance, obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord to such advertisement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Tenant shall have the right to retain a broker to list for a subtenant or assignee. In no event may Tenant publicize any financial information (including, without limitation, rental amounts) or otherwise advertise any such information or amount.

Section 15.2. If Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be assigned in violation of the provisions of this Article 15, such assignment shall be invalid and of no force and effect against Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may collect an amount equal to the then Fixed Rent plus any other item of Rental from the assignee as a fee for its use and occupancy. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet to, or occupied by, or used by, any person other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Article 15, Landlord, after default by Tenant under this Lease, may collect any item of Rental or other sums paid by the subtenant, user or occupant as a fee for its use and occupancy, and shall apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and the items of Rental reserved in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use, whether with or without Landlord’s prior consent, nor any such collection or application of

 

48


Rental or fee for use and occupancy, shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant, occupant or user as Tenant hereunder, nor shall the same, in any circumstances, relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, occupancy or use shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the express prior consent of Landlord to any further assignment, subletting, occupancy or use. Any person to which this Lease is assigned with Landlord’s consent shall be deemed without more to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment and shall execute and deliver to Landlord, upon demand, an instrument confirming such assumption. Notwithstanding and subsequent to any assignment, Tenant’s primary liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding (a) any subsequent amendment hereof, or (b) Landlord’s forbearance in enforcing against Tenant any obligation or liability, without notice to Tenant, to each of which Tenant hereby consents in advance. If any such amendment operates to increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, the liability under this Section 15.2 of the assigning Tenant shall continue to be no greater than if such amendment had not been made (unless such party shall have expressly consented in writing to such amendment).

Section 15.3.

(A) For purposes of this Article 15, (i) the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the total interest in any partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of control in any general or limited liability partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding membership interests in a limited liability company tenant or subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, involving the tenant, subtenant and/or its parent (including, without limitation, and by way of example only, the transfer of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of a company, which company owns 100% of a second tier company, which in turn owns 51% of the outstanding capital stock of a corporate tenant hereunder), shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be, except that the transfer of the outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, subtenant or parent, shall be deemed not to include the sale of such stock by persons or parties, other than those deemed “affiliates” of Tenant within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the “over-the-counter market” or through any recognized stock exchange, (ii) any increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent, or of the issued and outstanding membership interests in a limited liability company tenant or subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent, and/or the creation of one or more additional classes of capital stock of any corporate tenant or any corporate subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions involving the tenant, subtenant and/or its parent, resulting in a change in the control of such tenant, subtenant or parent so that the shareholders or members of such tenant, subtenant or parent existing immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions shall no longer control such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, (iii) an agreement by any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an assignment, (iv) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to whom Tenant’s interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 15, (v) a modification, amendment

 

49


or extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease, and (vi) the change or conversion of Tenant from an entity in which the partners or members have personal liability to a limited liability company, a limited liability partnership or any other entity which possesses the characteristics of limited liability shall be deemed an assignment. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord on request at any time such information and assurances as Landlord may reasonably request that neither Tenant, nor any previously permitted subtenant, has violated the provisions of this Article 15.

(B)    The provisions of clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 15.1, Section 15.3(A), Section 15.4(B), Section 15.5 and Section 15.6 shall not apply to (and Landlord’s consent shall not be required for) (i) a change in ownership or control of Tenant as a result of a merger, consolidation or reorganization, or the sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (provided that such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets is for a valid business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and provided further, that upon such change in ownership or control Tenant has a net worth in an amount at least equal to or in excess of twenty-five (25) times the then annual Fixed Rent under this Lease); (ii) the sale, exchange, issuance or other transfer of Tenant’s stock on a national stock exchange; or (iii) the assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises to, or the use of the Premises by, an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under the common control of Tenant (such transactions described in clauses (i) and (iii) being collectively referred to as “Permitted Transfers”, and such parties “Permitted Transferees”). Tenant shall notify Landlord before any such transaction is consummated, unless such prior notice violates any securities laws or regulatory requirements applicable to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly after Tenant is permitted to do so.

(C) The term “control” as used in this Lease (i) in the case of a corporation shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of that corporation, (ii) in the case of a general or limited liability partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership or membership interests of the partnership, (iii) in the case of a limited partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership interests of such limited partnership, and (iv) in the case of a limited liability company, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the membership interests of such limited liability company, or, in each case above, the possession of power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policy of such corporation or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by statute or by contract.

Section 15.4.

(A)    If Landlord shall not exercise its rights pursuant to Section 15.4(B), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a proposed subletting of the entire Premises (or any portion thereof consisting of the entire Tenth Floor Premises, the entire Eleventh Floor Premises or the entire Penthouse Space), or an assignment of this Lease (and any dispute between the parties as to whether Landlord’s withholding or delay of its consent to such proposed subletting or assignment was reasonable shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease), and Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to same in the event that (x) Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request for such consent and delivery of all materials required hereunder within thirty (30) days following

 

50


Landlord’s receipt thereof, and (y) Tenant thereafter provides Landlord with a second notice of its request (provided such notice shall be delivered in writing in accordance with Article 27 and state in eighteen-point bold, capital letters the following: “IF LANDLORD DOES NOT RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED SUBLEASE OR ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE DEEMED GRANTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15.4(A) OF THE LEASE.”), and (z) Landlord fails to respond to such second notice within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt thereof, provided that in each such instance, the following requirements shall have been satisfied:

(1) in the case of a proposed subletting, the listing or advertising for subletting of the Premises shall not have included a proposed rental rate, provided, however, that Tenant may quote in writing directly to prospective subtenants the proposed rental rate;

(2) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) the proposed subtenant or assignee shall have a financial standing, be engaged in a business, and propose to use the Premises in a manner in keeping with the standards in such respects of the other tenancies in the Building;

(4) the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be (x) a Person with whom Landlord is then negotiating or discussing the leasing of space in the Building, or any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any such Person; or (y) a tenant in or occupant of the Building, or any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any such tenant or occupant, unless Landlord does not then have available, and will not have available within the six (6) month period following Tenant’s request for consent, for lease space in the Building which is comparable in size to the Premises, in the case of any proposed assignment of the Lease, or to the portion of the Premises to be sublet, in the case of a proposed sublease;

(5) any subletting shall be expressly subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease and any assignment or subletting shall be subject to the further condition and restriction that this Lease or the sublease shall not be further assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred or the subleased premises further sublet by the subtenant in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the assignee or subtenant to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, and if Landlord shall consent to any further subletting by the subtenant or the assignment of the sublease, Sections 15.5 and 15.6 of this Lease shall apply to any such transactions as if the further subletting or assignment of the sublease were a proposed subletting or assignment being made by Tenant under this Lease so that Landlord shall be entitled to receive all amounts described in such Sections;

(6) Section 41.5(ii) of this Lease shall not have been violated;

(7) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, any processing fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant;

 

51


(8) any sublease shall expressly provide that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) subject to any offset that theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent unless previously approved by Landlord, (iv) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete or make payment to or on behalf of a subtenant with respect to any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof demised by such sublease and (v) bound by any obligations to make any other payment to or on behalf of the subtenant, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed after the date of such termination, reentry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease and which Landlord is required to perform hereunder with respect to the subleased space at Landlord’s expense;

(9) the nature of the occupancy of the proposed assignee or subtenant will not cause an excessive density of employees or traffic or make excessive demands on the Building Systems or present a greater security risk to the Building than is presented by Tenant;

(10) the nature of the occupancy, the use and the manner of use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not impose on Landlord any requirements of the ADA in excess of those requirements imposed on Landlord in the absence of such proposed subtenant or assignee or such occupancy, use or manner of use, unless such proposed subtenant or assignee shall have agreed to comply with each of such excess requirements and, at Landlord’s option, shall have furnished Landlord with such security as Landlord may require to assure that such subtenant or assignee shall so comply; and

(11) Landlord and Tenant shall have agreed on the computation required under Section 15.5 or Section 15.6, as applicable.

In the event that after Tenant’s submission of a Sublease or Assignment Statement to Landlord pursuant to Section 15.4(B) containing a Term Sheet rather than a proposed assignment or sublease instrument, the proposed sublease or proposed assignment delivered to Landlord in connection with Section 15.4(A) contains (i) provisions which are materially different from those in the Term Sheet (if such Term Sheet shall have contained terms other than those with respect to the rents, work contributions and other economic and financial terms (collectively “Economic Terms”)) or (ii) a net effective rental rate (i.e., taking into account free rent, work contributions and other economic concessions), in the case of a proposed sublease, and economic and financial terms generally in the case of a proposed assignment, which are more favorable to the proposed assignee or subtenant by five percent (5%) or more from the Economic Terms set forth in the Term Sheet, then in either or both of such events, Tenant’s request for consent pursuant to Section 15.4(A) shall be deemed to be an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord as to which Landlord shall have the right to exercise its rights with respect to proposed subleases or assignments set forth in Section 15.4(B).

(B) Upon obtaining a proposed assignee or subtenant, upon terms satisfactory to Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing (the following documents and information being collectively referred to as the “Sublease or Assignment Statement”): (i) the name and business address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) the nature and character of the business and credit of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) a term sheet describing in reasonable detail the basic terms of the proposed subletting or assignment and executed by or on behalf of Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant, as applicable (any such statement being referred to herein as a “Term Sheet”), or an original counterpart of the proposed assignment or sublease and all related agreements, the effective or commencement date of which shall be at least sixty (60) days after the date Tenant’s notice to Landlord is given, along with Tenant’s and the subtenant’s (or assignee’s) affidavit that such sublease or assignment instrument is the true and complete statement of the subletting or assignment (or, in the case of a Term Sheet if only a Term Sheet is submitted, that such Term Sheet reflects all sums and other consideration passing between the parties to the sublease or assignment) and all reports, returns, transferor and transferee questionnaires and other documents required to be filed under Article 31 of the New York State Tax Law and under Chapter 21 of the New York City Administrative Code; (iv) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent financial statements, certified by an independent CPA if such financial statements are certified by a CPA (or, if not, certified by the chief financial officer of the proposed assignee or subtenant as being true and correct); and (v) any other information that Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the following rights, exercisable within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Sublease or Assignment Statement (including any additional information reasonably requested by Landlord): in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of any portion of the Premises, to sublet (in its own name or that of its designee) such portion of the Premises from Tenant (or, in the case of a subletting that includes the entire Penthouse Space, to sublet only the entire Penthouse Space from Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have such right to sublet only the entire Penthouse Space if Landlord in good faith intends to use the Penthouse Space as an amenity for the tenants and occupants of the Building) on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 15.4(C), or to terminate this Lease or to take an assignment of this Lease from Tenant (or, in the case of a subletting of the entire Penthouse Space or a subletting that includes the entire Penthouse Space, to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Penthouse Space only, provided that Landlord shall only have such right to terminate this Lease with respect to the Penthouse Space if Landlord in good faith intends to use the Penthouse Space as an amenity for the tenants and occupants of the Building), (the entire Premises (or portion thereof sublet, as applicable) sublet by Landlord (or its designee) being referred to as the “Recapture Space”) or to approve or disapprove the proposed assignment or sublease in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4(A).

(C) (1) If Landlord shall exercise its option to sublet the Recapture Space, then, except as specifically provided below such subletting shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sublease or Assignment Statement, including without limitation the incorporation of the indemnification provisions under Article 33 of this Lease, provided that notwithstanding the terms contained in the Sublease or Assignment Statement, such sublease (a “Recapture Sublease”) to Landlord or its designee as subtenant (the “Recapture Subtenant”) or assignee shall:

 

53


(i) be at a rate, at all times throughout the term of the Recapture Sublease, equal to (if Tenant had proposed to sublet the Premises) the lower of (x) the rate then payable by Tenant under this Lease and (y) the rate set forth in the Sublease or Assignment Statement;

(ii) otherwise be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Sublease or Assignment Statement (other than, (x) in the case of an assignment, payment of consideration therefor to Tenant and (y) in the case of a subletting of the entire Penthouse Space, the term of the Recapture Sublease with respect to the Penthouse Space shall be for the remaining Term of this Lease) and (except as modified by the Sublease or Assignment Statement) the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section 15.4(C);

(iii) give the Recapture Subtenant the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s permission, to assign such sublease and to further sublet the Recapture Space or any part thereof and to make any and all changes, alterations, and improvements in and to the Recapture Space;

(iv) provide in substance that any such changes, alterations, and improvements made in the Recapture Space may be removed, in whole or in part, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of the Recapture Sublease, provided that any material damage and injury caused thereby shall be repaired;

(v) provide that (x) the parties to such Recapture Sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under the Recapture Sublease be merged with any estate held by either of said parties, and (y) at the expiration of the term of such Recapture Sublease, Tenant will accept the Recapture Space in its then existing condition, broom clean; and

(vi) provide that the Recapture Subtenant or occupant shall use and occupy the Recapture Space for any purpose approved by Landlord (without regard to any limitation set forth in the Sublease or Assignment Statement).

(2) Until the termination of a Recapture Sublease, performance by Recapture Subtenant under a Recapture Sublease shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and Tenant shall not be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default hereunder if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of Recapture Subtenant under the Recapture Sublease or is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of any occupant under the Recapture Sublease (and, accordingly, Tenant shall not have liability or responsibility to Landlord in connection with any such act or omission).

 

54


(3) If a Recapture Subtenant is unable to give Tenant possession of the Recapture Space at the expiration of the term of the Recapture Sublease by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or other occupant, then (w) until the date upon which the Recapture Subtenant gives Tenant possession of such Recapture Space free of occupancies, the Recapture Subtenant shall continue to pay all charges previously payable, and comply with all other obligations under the Recapture Sublease and the provisions of Section 15.4(C)(2) shall continue to apply, (x) neither the Expiration Date nor the validity of this Lease shall be affected, and (y) Tenant waives any rights under Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of New York, or any successor statute of similar import, to rescind this Lease and further waives the right to recover any damages from Landlord or Recapture Subtenant that may result from the failure of Landlord to deliver possession of the Recapture Space at the end of the term of the Recapture Sublease.

(4) The failure by Landlord to exercise its option under Section 15.4(B) with respect to any subletting or assignment shall not be deemed a waiver of such option with respect to any extension of such subletting or assignment or any subsequent subletting or assignment.

(5) Tenant shall have the right to offset against the Rental due under this Lease an amount equal to the rental that the Recapture Subtenant fails to pay when due to Tenant.

Section 15.5. If Tenant sublets the Premises to a Person in a transaction for which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall be entitled to and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent (the “Sublease Additional Rent”), a sum equal to fifty (50%) percent of any rents, additional charges and other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant in excess of the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property and Alterations less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax or federal information returns) and after deducting from any rents, additional charges and other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant the actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease on account of brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, free rent (to the extent consistent with free rent then being offered for subleases in similar buildings in Manhattan), legal fees, work contributions and the cost of work performed by Tenant to prepare the Premises for the subtenant’s occupancy, all amortized over the term of the sublease. Such Sublease Additional Rent shall be payable as and when received by Tenant.

Section 15.6. If Tenant shall assign this Lease to a Person in a transaction for which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall be entitled to and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property and Alterations less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax or federal information returns) after deducting from any sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee the actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment on account of brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, free rent (to the extent consistent with free rent then being offered for subleases in similar buildings in Manhattan), legal fees, work contributions and the cost of work performed by Tenant to prepare the Premises for the assignee’s occupancy. Such Additional Rent shall be payable as and when received by Tenant from the assignee.

Section 15.7. Landlord shall have no liability for brokerage commissions incurred with respect to any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any part of the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any and all cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and liability in connection with any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any broker or agent with respect to any such assignment or subletting.

Section 15.8.

(A) Tenant may permit portions of the Premises to be occupied, at any time and from time to time, by persons who are not members, officers or employees of Tenant (each such Person who is permitted to occupy portions of the Premises pursuant to this Section being referred to herein as a “Special Occupant”), without (x) Landlord’s prior approval, (y) Tenant being required to pay any profits to Landlord in connection therewith, provided that, in each case, (i) no demising walls are erected in the Premises separating the space used by a Special Occupant from the remainder of the Premises, (ii) the Special Occupant uses the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Lease, (iii) the use of any portion of the Premises by any Special Occupant shall not create any real property interest of the Special Occupant in or to the Premises, (iv) the portion of the Premises used by all Special Occupants shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the RSF of the Premises, (v) such Person maintains a business or charitable relationship with Tenant and such business or charitable relationship extends during the term of such occupancy (vi) the Special Occupant does not pay for its occupancy rights an amount greater than the Rental that is reasonably allocable to the portion of the Premises that the Special Occupant has the right to occupy (it being understood that amounts that the Special Occupant pays to Tenant to reimburse Tenant reasonably for customary office services shall not be included in the calculation of the amount that the Special Occupant pays for its occupancy rights as provided in this clause (vi)), and (vii) at least ten (10) days prior to a Special Occupant taking occupancy of a portion of the Premises, Tenant gives notice to Landlord advising Landlord of (1) the name and address of such Special Occupant, (2) the character and nature of the business to be conducted by such Special Occupant, (3) the number of RSF to be occupied by such Special Occupant, (4) the duration of such occupancy, (5) the character and nature of Special Occupant’s relationship with Tenant and (5) the fee, if any, to be paid by such Special Occupant for its use of the applicable portion of the Premises, and provided, further that Landlord shall have the right to deny occupancy to any proposed (or existing) Special Occupant in the event such Person maintains a charitable (rather than business) relationship with Tenant, and, Landlord, in its sole judgment, determines that occupancy in the Building by such Person, or by any charity such Person is affiliated with, could be perceived as drawing negative attention to Landlord and/or the Building (or any other tenants or occupants thereof) or otherwise lowering or detracting from the nature, character or quality of Landlord and/or the Building (or any other tenants or occupants thereof) or creating any security risk for Landlord and/or the Building (or any other tenants or occupants thereof).

 

56


(B) Tenant shall be permitted to outsource certain ancillary operations in the Premises to persons providing service to Tenant, including food service, mailroom, security services, photocopying, to the extent such services are ordinarily provided to businesses similar to Tenant’s operations in the Premises and provided that the amount of space within the Premises allocated thereto is reasonable taking into account the services which would ordinarily be so provided, and Tenant shall be permitted to provide space within the Premises to such persons without Landlord’s consent thereto being required and any such space allocated to such persons shall not be deemed a portion of the space permitted to be used by the Special Occupants.

ARTICLE 16

ACCESS TO PREMISES

Section 16.1.

(A) Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s agents, other tenants in the Building and public utilities servicing the Building to erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises provided same do not reduce the usable area of the Premises or interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment thereof beyond a de minimis amount. Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon (except in case of emergency) reasonable prior notice, which notice may be oral, to examine the same, to show the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or lessees of the Building or (during the last twelve (12) months of the Term) lessees of space therein, or to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions (i) as may be required in connection with Landlord’s Work, (ii) as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to the Premises to comply with Requirements and requirements of the insurance companies providing insurance on the Building, or as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to any other portion of the Building, or (iii) which Landlord may elect to perform at least ten (10) days after notice (except in an emergency when no notice shall be required) following Tenant’s failure to make repairs or perform any work which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease, or (v) for the purpose of complying with Requirements, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and except to the extent provided under Section 7.3 hereof, the Fixed Rent (and any other item of Rental) shall in no respect abate or be reduced by reason of said repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, wherever located, or while the same are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage caused to the Premises by such work, alterations, improvements or additions.

(B) Any work performed or installations made pursuant to this Article 16 shall be made with reasonable diligence and otherwise pursuant to Section 7.3, including, without limitation, the provisions thereof relating to overtime work.

(C) Any pipes, ducts, or conduits installed in or through the Premises pursuant to this Article 16 shall, if reasonably practicable, either be concealed behind, beneath or within partitioning, columns, ceilings or floors located or to be located in the Premises, or completely furred at points immediately adjacent to partitioning, columns or ceilings located or to be located in the Premises.

 

57


Section 16.2. If Tenant is not present when for any reason entry into the Premises may be necessary or permissible, Landlord or Landlord’s agents may enter the same without rendering Landlord or such agents liable therefor (if during such entry Landlord or Landlord’s agents accord reasonable care to Tenant’s Property), and without in any manner affecting this Lease.

Section 16.3. Landlord also shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Building, provided any such change does not unreasonably interfere with, or deprive Tenant of access to, the Building or the Premises; to put so-called “solar film” or other energy-saving installations on the inside and outside of the windows; and to change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known. All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Premises (including exterior Building walls, exterior core corridor walls, exterior doors and entrances), all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, air cooling, plumbing and other mechanical facilities, service closets and other Building facilities are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of inspection, operation, maintenance, alteration and repair.

ARTICLE 17

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

Section 17.1. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy the Premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy at such time issued for the Premises or for the Building (the “Certificate of Occupancy”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to use the Premises to accommodate a proportionate share of the total number of persons permitted by the Certificate of Occupancy to occupy the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located, based upon the ratio that the RSF of the Premises bears to the total number of RSF on such floor of the Building. In the event that any Government Authority hereafter contends or declares by notice, violation, order or in any other manner whatsoever that the Premises are used for a purpose that is a violation of such Certificate of Occupancy, Tenant shall, upon three (3) Business Days written notice from Landlord or any Government Authority, immediately discontinue such use of the Premises; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Tenant from contesting such violation pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost, use all commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Certificate of Occupancy as needed to allow for Terrace use (including, without limitation, endeavoring to obtain a Public Assembly Permit to permit occupancy of the Terrace by more than 74 persons to the extent permitted by the available roof area) and, if necessary and Tenant reinforces the floors in accordance with this Lease, increased floor loads in connection with Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, and to reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no cost to Landlord and subject to any Tenant Delay and Unavoidable Delay, in connection with future amendments to the Certificate of Occupancy to the extent necessary and consistent with the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 5, Article 16 and Article 41.

(B) Intentionally omitted; or

(C) Intentionally omitted; or

(F) (1) if Tenant shall not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing Tenant’s inability to, as to any obligation, pay Tenant’s debts as they become due; or

(2) if Tenant shall commence or institute any case, proceeding or other action (a) seeking relief on Tenant’s behalf as debtor, or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to Tenant or Tenant’s debts under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or (b) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; or

(3) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(H) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed and Tenant shall fail to remedy such default within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot with due diligence be completely remedied within said period of thirty (30) days and the continuation of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord to the risk of criminal liability or termination of any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Mortgage, if Tenant shall not, (i) within said thirty (30) day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention duly to institute all steps necessary to remedy such situation, (ii) duly institute within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the same, and (iii) complete such remedy within such time after the date of the giving of said notice by Landlord as shall reasonably be necessary.

Section 18.2.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such termination shall be stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 18.1(F), or by federal or state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if the trustee appointed in any such proceeding, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession fails to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within the period prescribed therefor by law or within one hundred twenty (120) days after entry of the order for relief or as may be allowed by the court, or if said trustee, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession shall fail to provide adequate protection of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises or adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord, to the extent permitted by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such proceeding, shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease on five (5) days’ notice to Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee and upon the expiration of said five (5) day period this Lease shall cease and expire as aforesaid and Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises as aforesaid.

Any monies received by Landlord from or on behalf of Tenant during the pendency of any proceeding of the types referred to in Section 18.1(F) shall be deemed paid as compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises and the acceptance of any such compensation by Landlord shall not be deemed an acceptance of Rental or a waiver on the part of Landlord of any rights under Section 18.2.

ARTICLE 19

REMEDIES AND DAMAGES

Section 19.1.

(A) If any Event of Default shall occur, or this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 18:

(1) Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such Event of Default or after the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), but excluding by force, and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise (excluding by force) and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises (and Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law); and

(2) Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Fixed Expiration Date, at such rent or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect any such liability, and Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such Alterations, in and to the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, shall consider advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.

(B) Tenant hereby waives the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end that may otherwise be required to be given under any present or future law. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does further hereby waive any and all rights that

 

61


Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (a) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (b) any re-entry by Landlord, or (c) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination is by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-entry”, “re-enter” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and the right to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The right to invoke the remedies hereinbefore set forth are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.

Section 19.2.

(A) If this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 18, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in Section 19.1, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:

(1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Fixed Rent, Escalation Rent, other Additional Rent and other items of Rental payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;

(2) Tenant also shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency (“Deficiency”) between the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.1(A)(2) for any part of such period (after first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease, Landlord’s reentry upon the Premises and such reletting including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting); any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent; Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and

(3) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the unpaid Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at the Base Rate; if, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or

 

62


tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.

(B) If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 19.2. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceed the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Solely for the purposes of this Article 19, the term “Escalation Rent” as used in Section 19.2(A) shall mean the Escalation Rent in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date, or the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be. Nothing contained in Article 18 or this Article 19 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 19.2.

ARTICLE 20

If (i) Tenant shall default under this Lease, or (ii) Tenant does or permits any act or thing upon the Premises that would cause Landlord to be in default under any Superior Lease or Mortgage and Tenant does not cure such act or thing within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as Landlord may be permitted pursuant to any Superior Lease or Mortgage) after notice thereof, or (iii) Tenant fails to comply with its obligations under this Lease and the preservation of property or the safety of any tenant, occupant or other person is threatened, Landlord may (1) perform the same for the account of Tenant, or (2) make any expenditure or incur any obligation for the payment of money in connection with any obligation owed to Landlord, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, and in either case the cost thereof, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any proceeding in which the value for the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant is being determined after the Expiration Date (whether or not any such proceeding results from a default by Tenant under this Lease).

Section 20.2. If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental for a period longer than five (5) days after the same shall have become due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other item of Rental, as the case may be, as a late charge and as Additional Rent, a sum equal to three (3%) percent of the amount unpaid, provided that with respect to the first time in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months that Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental for a period longer than

ARTICLE 21

NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD

Section 21.1. Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no representations, warranties or promises with respect to the Building, the Real Property or the Premises except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein. Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date in its “as is” but vacant and broom-clean condition, except that Landlord’s Work shall be Substantially Complete thereon, and Tenant shall accept the Terrace on the Commencement Date in its “as is” condition, subject to Article 41 hereof. Except for the completion of any Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any other work or make any other installations in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy. Landlord hereby warrants against defects in Landlord’s Work for a period of time following Substantial Completion equal to the period of time for which the General Contractor (as such term is defined in the Work Agreement) warrants to Landlord against defects in such work. The taking of occupancy of the whole or any part of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant accepts possession of the same and that the Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such occupancy was so taken (except as to non-compliance with applicable Requirements caused by Landlord’s failure to comply with the Final Plans (as defined in the Work Agreement) in performing Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and Hazardous Materials and latent defects) and that the Premises were substantially as shown on Schedules A, B and C. The foregoing is not intended to relieve Landlord from its repair and maintenance obligations under this Lease.

Section 21.2. All references in this Lease to the consent or approval of Landlord shall be deemed to mean the written consent or approval executed by Landlord and no other consent or approval of Landlord shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever.

ARTICLE 22

END OF TERM

Section 22.1. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises and the Terrace, vacant, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and Tenant shall remove all Specialty Alterations and all Additional Specialty Alterations subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(C)(2). Tenant shall also remove all of Tenant’s Property and all other personal property and personal effects of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, and shall pay the cost of repairing all damage to the Premises and the Real Property (including the Terrace) occasioned by such removal. Any Tenant’s Property or other personal property that remains in the Premises or the Terrace after the Expiration Date shall be deemed to have been abandoned and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or any part thereof is sold, Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale as the property of Landlord. Any expense incurred by Landlord in removing or disposing of such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or Alterations required to be removed as provided in Article 6, as well as the cost of repairing all damage to the Building (including the Terrace) or the Premises caused by such removal, shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant, as Additional Rent, on demand.

Section 22.2. If the Fixed Expiration Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then Tenant’s obligations under Section 22.1 shall be performed on or prior to the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 22.3. If the Premises and the Terrace are not surrendered within forty-five (45) days after the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against liability or expense (including any consequential damages) resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises and the Terrace, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded upon such delay and agrees to be liable to Landlord for (i) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises and the Terrace as a result of such delay and (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any such tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant. Landlord’s rights under this Section 22.3 are in addition to the holdover rental payable by Tenant under Section 39.7.

Section 22.4. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person claiming through or under Tenant, any rights that Tenant or any such person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any similar or successor law of like import then in force in connection with any holdover proceedings that Landlord may institute to enforce the provisions of this Article.

Section 22.5. Tenant’s obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 23

POSSESSION

Section 23.1. If Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the Premises on any date specified as the Commencement Date or any additional space to be included within the Premises on the specific date (if any) designated in this Lease for any reason whatsoever, then except to the extent expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be subject to any

 

65


liability therefor and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired thereby nor the Expiration Date extended, but the Commencement Date, or the commencement date with respect to such additional space, as applicable, shall be postponed until Landlord shall notify Tenant that the Premises or such additional space, as the case may be, is available for use by Tenant. Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the right to recover any damages that may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the Premises or any additional space, as the case may be, on the specific date (if any) designated for the commencement of the Term. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article 23 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.

ARTICLE 24

NO WAIVER

Section 24.1. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. If Tenant shall at any time desire to have Landlord sublet the Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or Landlord’s agents are authorized to receive the keys for such purpose without releasing Tenant from any of the obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Landlord of any liability for loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s effects in connection with such subletting.

Section 24.2. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or, with respect to Landlord, any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all of the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against Tenant or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. Except as otherwise provided, no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party, unless such waiver shall be in writing and shall be signed by such party. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rental then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest item(s) of Rental, or as Landlord may elect to apply the same, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due of the Rental or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged herein. Any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, discharge or effect an abandonment of this Lease in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge or abandonment is sought.

 

66


ARTICLE 25

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

Section 25.1. Landlord and Tenant shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, whether during or after the Term, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. If Landlord shall commence any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to impose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant or Landlord.

ARTICLE 26

INABILITY TO PERFORM

Section 26.1. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rental hereunder and to perform all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, expressly or implicitly to be performed by Landlord, or because Landlord is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations, or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any services, equipment or fixtures, if Landlord is prevented from or delayed in so doing by reason of acts of God, casualty, strikes or labor troubles, accident, acts of war, terrorism, bioterrorism (i.e., the release or threatened release of an airborne agent that may adversely affect the Building or its occupants), governmental preemption in connection with an emergency, Requirements, conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war, terrorism, bioterrorism or other emergency, delays in the issuance of any licenses, permits or certificates of occupancy or sign-offs from or by the New York City Department of Buildings or other like governmental agencies not due to the negligence, willful misconduct, acts or failures to act (where there is a duty to act) of Landlord or its agents, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (“Unavoidable Delays”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article 13 shall control in all cases where the Premises have been destroyed in whole or in part.

ARTICLE 28

SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT

Section 28.1. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense:

(A) Provide non-exclusive access to the Building’s freight elevator and loading dock serving the Premises (or, at any time prior to the freight elevator being operational, to the Building’s outside hoist) on call on a “first come, first served” basis during Freight Elevator Hours without additional charge to Tenant; and on a reservation, exclusive “first come, first served” basis during Overtime Periods, with a minimum block of four (4) consecutive hours to be reserved during such Overtime Periods at Landlord’s Building-standard rate (which shall be commercially reasonable), which amounts shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall waive the cost of up to thirty (30) hours of freight elevator (or outside hoist, as the case may be) usage during

 

69


Overtime Periods, subject to all other requirements above (including, without limitation, the requirement that such usage be scheduled in blocks of at least four (4) hours), during Tenant’s initial single-phase move in to the Premises. There shall be no charge for freight elevator (or outside hoist, as the case may be) usage in connection with Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, repair any damage to the Premises caused by the installation, existence or removal of the outside hoist.

(B) Provide passenger elevator service to the Premises on Business Days during Operating Hours, provided that at least one (1) elevator shall be available to all floors of the Premises at all times. Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its election, install elevators with or without operators and may change the same from time to time.

(C) As soon as Tenant occupies the Premises for the conduct of its business, furnish to the Premises, through the HVAC System, during Operating Hours, chilled air and heat and/or ventilation in accordance with the Performance Specifications set forth in Section 38.1(B) hereof.; provided that Tenant shall draw and close the draperies or blinds for the windows of the Premises whenever the HVAC System is providing ventilation or air-conditioning and the position of the sun so requires and shall, at all times, cooperate fully with Landlord and abide by all of the Rules and Regulations which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning of the HVAC System. Tenant expressly acknowledges that some or all windows are or may be hermetically sealed and will not open and Landlord makes no representation as to the habitability of the Premises at any time the HVAC System is not in operation. Subject to Section 7.3(B) of this Lease, Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims against Landlord arising out of the cessation of operation of the HVAC System, or the suitability of the Premises when the same is not in operation, whether due to normal scheduling or the reasons set forth in Section 28.3. Landlord will not be responsible for the failure of the HVAC System if such failure results from the occupancy of the Premises by more than an average of one (1) person for each one hundred (100) square feet of usable area or if Tenant uses in excess of six (6) watts of electricity per rentable square foot of the Premises. If Tenant occupies the Premises at an occupancy rate of greater than that for which the HVAC System was designed (one (1) person per 100 square feet of usable area) or uses in excess of six (6) watts of electricity per rentable square foot, or if Tenant’s partitions are arranged in such a way as to interfere with the normal operation of the HVAC System, Landlord may elect to make changes to the HVAC System or the ducts through which it operates as required by reason of such conditions, and the reasonable cost of such changes shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within twenty (20) days after presentation of a bill therefor. Any dispute regarding Landlord’s election to make changes to the HVAC System pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 43 of this Lease. Subject to Section 7.3, Landlord, throughout the Term, shall have free access to all mechanical installations of Landlord, including but not limited to air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets, and Tenant shall not construct or place partitions, furniture or other obstructions that may interfere with Landlord’s free access thereto or the proper functioning of Building Systems, or interfere with the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the enclosures containing said installations. Neither Tenant nor its agents, employees or contractors shall at any time enter the said enclosures or tamper with, adjust, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said mechanical installations. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 28.1 and under Section 28.2 are subject to applicable Laws that may limit the hours or the extent to which Landlord is permitted to supply HVAC. Landlord shall have no obligation to supply HVAC to the Basement Space.

 

70


(D) Furnish hot and cold water for ordinary drinking, pantry, cleaning and lavatory purposes (specifically excluding showers) to the core restrooms in the Premises. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any other purposes (including, without limitation, showers), Tenant agrees that Tenant shall install a meter or meters to measure Tenant’s water consumption, and Tenant further agrees to pay for the cost of the meter or meters and the installation thereof, and to pay for the maintenance of said meter equipment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred eight percent (108%) of the cost of all water consumption measured as provided above, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after bills are rendered. Tenant shall also pay the New York City sewer rents, charges and any other tax apportioned to the Premises in accordance with the measured consumption of water therein, and shall reimburse Landlord for all other costs of providing the same, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after bills are rendered. Except with respect to the core restrooms and any pantries on the floors of the Building on which the Premises are located, Tenant shall pay all costs of generating hot water for Tenant’s use.

(E) Landlord shall not be obligated to provide cleaning of the Premises or refuse or rubbish removal for the Premises, except that Landlord shall clean the interior and exterior of the exterior windows of the Premises twice yearly. Tenant shall contract with reputable contractors, duly licensed and qualified, to perform janitorial services and extermination services in the Premises. The level of service provided by the janitorial contractor shall, at a minimum, include the nightly cleaning and re-stocking of restrooms that are part of the Premises, the proper collection and disposal of rubbish and recyclables as provided in this Lease and the general cleaning of the Premises to a level commensurate with that customarily provided in tenant-cleaned spaces in first-class office buildings similar to the Building. Tenant shall have the option of utilizing Landlord’s base building cleaning and extermination contractors, but will be required to contract directly with any such contractor and to pay such contractor directly for all services rendered to the Premises. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the oversight or performance of any work in the Premises by any of Landlord’s base building contractors and shall not be a party to any contract between the Tenant and any contractor. Landlord shall have the right to terminate its contract with any contractor at any time, without regard to any contracts that may exist between the Tenant and any contractor. Landlord will provide Tenant’s cleaning, rubbish removal and pest control contractors with access to the Building at commercially reasonable times for the purpose of performing their contracted duties. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a schedule of Tenant’s contractors and their employees requiring access and shall be responsible for updating such schedule at all times, and in no event shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant whatsoever for denying access to any contractor’s employees who are not on such schedule. Tenant shall be responsible for providing its contractors with access to the Premises and for providing the contractors with any keys, access cards or codes as necessary. Tenant shall be responsible for controlling each of its contractors’ use and possession of all keys, access cards and codes. All of the equipment of such contractors shall be stored within the Premises or removed from the Building.

 

71


(F) (i) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Requirements with respect to the recycling or sorting of refuse and rubbish, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) shall recycle spent products, including toner cartridges, copier drums and fluorescent tubes, and (b) shall provide facilities in the Premises for separate storage and recycling of each of the following: (x) paper products and cardboard, (y) aluminum, glass and plastic, and (z) food wastes and so-called “wet garbage”. Tenant shall arrange and require its employees working in the Premises to participate in annual training regarding recycling and shall participate in Landlord-sponsored training programs regarding recycling. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept from Tenant any refuse or rubbish which is not separated and sorted as required and to require Tenant to arrange for such collection, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, using a contractor reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(ii) Tenant shall cause the Premises to be treated against infestation by vermin, rodents or roaches on at least a monthly basis, and more frequently, as necessary, whenever there is evidence of any infestation. Tenant shall not permit any Person to enter the Premises or the Building for the purpose of providing such extermination services, unless such Person has been approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(G) If the “sprinkler system” installed in the Building or any of its appurtenances are damaged or injured or not in proper working order by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant’s Control, Tenant shall forthwith restore the same to good working condition at Tenant’s expense; and if the New York Board of Fire Underwriters or the New York Insurance Rating Organization or any Government Authority requires or recommends that any changes, modifications, alterations or additional sprinkler heads or other equipment be made or supplied by reason of Tenant’s business, or the location of the partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, promptly make and supply such changes, modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other equipment (pursuant to submission of necessary engineering plans and specifications for Landlord’s approval).

(H) Subject to compliance with Landlord’s Rules and Regulations and security protocols for the Building, Tenant shall have access to the Building and the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week.    

(I) So long as the Tenant shall lease at least two (2) contiguous full floors, Tenant shall have the right to use the fire staircase connecting contiguous floors of the Premises (the “Convenience Stairs”) solely as convenience stairs in accessing each floor of the Premises; provided, that Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, complies with all applicable Requirements in connection with such use as convenience stairs as opposed to fire stairs (it being understood that Landlord and Landlord’s authorized personnel shall be permitted to use such Fire Stairs in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Building). In using the Convenience Stairs and in preparing said Convenience Stairs for use by Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for all incremental costs and expenses in connection therewith (including any increase in Landlord’s insurance costs resulting from Tenant’s use thereof and any additional out-of-pocket costs to Landlord resulting from the need to install, maintain and provide electricity to continuous lighting fixtures serving the Convenience Stairs) and shall comply with the terms of this Lease and all applicable Requirements for use as convenience stairs applicable to the Building. If Tenant so utilizes the Convenience Stairs as convenience stairs, then, unless

 

72


Landlord directs Tenant otherwise, Tenant shall maintain and repair at its sole cost and expense the Convenience Stairs, including, without limitation, the periodic painting and cleaning thereof in a manner appropriate for a First Class Office Building. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to store any equipment, furniture, storage boxes or any other personal property whatsoever in the Convenience Stairs. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the operation of the locking system on the doors from the Convenience Stairs to the Premises and hereby waives any and all claims against Landlord arising out of or in connection with parties gaining access to and from the Premises through the Convenience Stairs. All of the provisions of this Lease in respect of indemnification shall apply to the Convenience Stairs, as if the same were part of the Premises, if and to the extent any such indemnification obligation arises from the use or misuse or maintenance of or alterations to the Convenience Stairs by Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to install, in accordance with Article 6 hereof and to the extent permitted by Requirements, (x) a security system in the Convenience Stairs, that shall be able to connect to the Class E system that constitutes part of the Building Systems, and security cameras that seek to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the Premises from the Convenience Stairs and/or the egress doors, and (y) reasonable finishes in the Convenience Stairs (such as floor covering, paint and lighting) and such signage in the Convenience Stairs as is approved by Landlord in its sole discretion, in either case at Tenant’s expense).

(J) Landlord shall provide one telecommunications closet located on each floor of the Premises, as shown hatched on Schedule N attached hereto (the “Telecommunications Closets”), which will contain multiple conduits for Tenant’s use. Tenant shall have access to a 4’ conduit or existing conduit sleeve within the Telecommunications Closets at no additional cost to Tenant. As of the date hereof, telecommunication providers have not yet been established for Building, but Landlord intends that (x) the Building will contain a new fiber-optic system to manage modern data requirements and (y) that Tenant will have access to no less than two providers for telecommunications services. If Tenant determines that the telecommunication providers for the Building are not acceptable for Tenant’s telecommunication needs, Tenant shall have the right to use a different telecommunication provider (“Tenant’s Telecom Provider”), provided that (i) Tenant’s Telecom Provider shall enter into a commercially reasonable contract with Landlord, acceptable to Landlord, for the provision of telecommunication services to the Premises, (ii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for all costs of the provision of services by Tenant’s Telecom Provider, within twenty (20) days after the date that Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor from time to time and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the costs and expenses of any repairs to the Premises and/or the Building which Landlord deems necessary due to damage to the Premises and/or the Building caused by Tenant’s Telecom Provider.

Section 28.2. In furtherance of and without limiting the provisions of Section 28.1(D) hereof, the Fixed Rent does not reflect or include any charge to Tenant for the furnishing of HVAC service to the Premises during Overtime Periods. Accordingly, if Landlord furnishes any HVAC service to the Premises at the request of Tenant during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for such services at the rate of $150.00 per full floor per hour (provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent at the discounted rate of $50.00 per full floor per hour for the first one thousand (1,000) hours of HVAC service provided to Tenant during Overtime Periods each calendar year during the Term). Landlord shall not be

 

73


required to furnish any such services during any Overtime Periods unless Landlord has received advance notice from Tenant requesting such services prior to 3:00 p.m. of the Business Day upon which such services are requested or by 3:00 p.m. of the last preceding Business Day if such Overtime Periods are to occur on a day other than a Business Day. If Tenant fails to give Landlord such advance notice, then failure by Landlord to furnish or distribute any such services during such Overtime Periods shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rental, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant’s business or otherwise.

Section 28.3. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, Landlord reserves the right to stop the furnishing of the Building services and to stop service of the Building Systems, when necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for Alterations in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said Alterations shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, elevator, plumbing, electric, or other services during said period or when prevented from so doing by strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, difficulty of obtaining materials, accidents or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control that is related to such failure to provide services, or by Requirements or failure of electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power. No diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Without limiting events that may constitute “any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control,” the following are items which Landlord and Tenant agree are beyond Landlord’s reasonable control:

(i) Lack of access to the Building or the Premises (which shall include, but not be limited to, the lack of access to the Building or the Premises when it or they are structurally sound but inaccessible due to evacuation of the surrounding area or damage to nearby structures or public areas);

(ii) Any cause outside the Building (not caused by Landlord or

its employees or agents);

The acceptance of any holdover rental paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 39.7 shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding.

If any words or phrases in this Lease are stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that such words or phrases were stricken out or otherwise eliminated.

Section 39.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord or the Parties or Tenant be liable for consequential or punitive damages under this Lease, except to the extent that Tenant’s liability under Section 22.3 may be characterized as consequential damages.

ARTICLE 40

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 40.1. As used herein:

(A) “Available” means, as to any space, that such space is vacant and free of any present or future possessory right now, or, if such space is vacant as of the date hereof, following the initial leasing of such space after the date hereof, or, to the extent specified in clause (ii) of the following sentence, hereafter existing in favor of any third party. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Tenant’s right of first offer pursuant to this Section 40.1 is subordinate to (i) any right of offer, right of first refusal, renewal right or similar right or option in favor of any third party existing as of the date of this Lease (which rights are specified in Schedule S annexed to this Lease) and any renewal right hereafter granted, and (ii) Landlord’s right to (x) extend the term of lease of any tenant or occupant or (y) enter into a new lease with any tenant or occupant, on the floor located within the Offer Space (as such term is hereinafter defined) whether or not pursuant to an option to renew.

(B) “Offer Space” means any space on the ninth (9th) floor of the Building after the initial leasing thereof.

 

89


Section 40.2.

(A) Provided that (i) this Lease shall be in full force and effect, (ii) there shall not then be existing an Event of Default under this Lease, (iii) Tenant or its Permitted Transferee and its Special Occupants shall be in physical occupancy of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire rentable area of the Premises, (iv) as of the Anticipated Inclusion Date (as defined below), there shall be at least four (4) full years remaining in the Term (or Tenant shall have a Renewal Option remaining that may be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article 42) and (v) Tenant shall not have exercised the Initial Expansion Option, if any Offer Space becomes, or Landlord reasonably anticipates that any Offer Space will become, Available, Landlord shall give to Tenant notice (an “Offer Notice”) thereof, specifying (a) a description and the rentable square footage of the Offer Space, (b) Landlord’s determination of the Fair Rental Value of the Offer Space, which shall constitute the maximum thereof Landlord can claim as the Fair Rental Value for such space in any arbitration thereof (“Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination”), (c) the date or estimated date that such Offer Space has or shall become Available (the “Anticipated Inclusion Date”), and (d) any other relevant economic terms selected by Landlord which Landlord in good faith believes is customary in the marketplace.

(B) Provided that on the date that Tenant exercises the Offer Space Option (as hereinafter defined) and on the Offer Space Inclusion Date (as hereinafter defined) the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 40.2(A) continue to be satisfied and as of the Anticipated Inclusion Date there shall be at least five (5) full years remaining in the Term (provided that if there are fewer than five (5) full years remaining in the Term, Tenant shall simultaneously with the exercise of the Offer Space Option exercise the Renewal Option), Tenant shall have one (1) option (the “Offer Space Option”), exercisable by notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) given to Landlord on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of the Offer Notice (time being of the essence) to include the Offer Space in the Premises for a term ending on the Expiration Date. Tenant shall notify Landlord in the Acceptance Notice whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination (if applicable), and if Tenant disputes Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination, the Acceptance Notice shall set forth Tenant’s good faith determination of the Fair Rental Value for such Offer Space, which shall constitute the minimum that Tenant can claim as the Fair Rental Value for such space in any arbitration thereof (“Tenant’s Minimum Offer Determination”). If Tenant fails to object to Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination in the Acceptance Notice and to set forth therein Tenant’s Minimum Offer Determination, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination as the Fair Rental Value for such Offer Space.

Section 40.3. If Tenant timely delivers the Acceptance Notice, then, on the date on which Landlord delivers vacant and broom-clean possession of the Offer Space to Tenant (the “Offer Space Inclusion Date”), the Offer Space shall become part of the Premises, upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except (i) the Fixed Rent for the Offer Space shall be as set forth above, (ii) Tenant’s Share shall be increased to reflect Tenant’s lease of the Offer Space, (iii) unless otherwise specified by Landlord in the Offer Notice, Landlord shall not be required to perform any Landlord’s work or any other work, pay a Landlord’s contribution or a work allowance or any other amount, or render any services to make the Building or the Offer Space ready for Tenant’s use or occupancy, and Tenant shall accept the Offer Space vacant, free of any possessory interest thereon, broom clean and otherwise in its “as is” condition as of the date of the Offer Notice, reasonable wear and tear excepted; and (iv) as may be otherwise set forth in the Offer Notice. In addition, within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (x) Tenant’s giving of the Acceptance Notice and (y) the determination of Fair Rental Value for the

 

90


Offer Space, Tenant shall increase the amount of the Security Deposit proportionately to reflect Tenant’s lease of the Offer Space. Such increase shall be effected by (I) Tenant exchanging a replacement Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of Article 35 in the increased total amount for the existing Letter of Credit, or (II) the Issuing Bank delivering an amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof (but which does not otherwise amend or modify same), which amendment Landlord shall promptly countersign or authorize in writing if required by the Issuing Bank.

Section 40.4. If in the Acceptance Notice Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Rental Value, and Landlord and Tenant fail to agree as to the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after the giving of the Acceptance Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in Article 42. If the dispute shall not have been resolved on or before the Offer Space Inclusion Date, then pending such resolution, Tenant shall pay, as Fixed Rent for the Offer Space, an amount equal to Landlord’s Maximum Offer Determination. If such resolution shall be in favor of Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the final determination of Fair Rental Value, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment.

Section 40.5. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Offer Space to Tenant for any reason on or before the Anticipated Inclusion Date, the Offer Space Inclusion Date shall be the date on which Landlord is able to so deliver possession and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor and this Lease shall not in any way be impaired. If an existing tenant of the Offer Space holds over, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, which may include the commencement of an eviction action against such holdover tenant, if such action is determined by Landlord to be commercially reasonable in the circumstances, to obtain possession of the Offer Space. This Section 40.5 constitutes “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect.

Section 40.6. If, after receiving an Offer Notice as set forth above, Tenant fails timely to give an Acceptance Notice, then (i) Landlord may enter into one or more leases of all or any part of the Offer Space with third parties on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine, the Offer Space Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect with respect to all or any part of the Offer Space and Landlord shall have no further obligation to offer all or any part of the Offer Space to Tenant, and (ii) Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after demand by Landlord, execute an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant confirming Tenant’s waiver of, and extinguishing, the Offer Space Option contained in this Article 40.

Section 40.7. Promptly after the occurrence of the Offer Space Inclusion Date, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the occurrence thereof and the inclusion of the Offer Space in the Premises by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant; provided, that failure by Landlord or Tenant to execute such instrument shall not affect the inclusion of the Offer Space in the Premises in accordance with this Article 40.

Section 40.8. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant shall have duly exercised the Initial Expansion Option, Tenant shall no longer have an Offer Space Option and this Article 40 shall be deemed void and of no further force and effect.

ARTICLE 41

TERRACE

Section 41.1. So long as such use is in compliance with all applicable Requirements, and subject to Landlord’s rights under this Lease, Tenant shall, throughout the Term, have (i) the exclusive use of that portion of the terrace outside the Penthouse Space and located on the southerly side of the Building in the area delineated on Schedule O-1 annexed hereto (the “South Terrace”), subject to (x) the rights of Landlord to access the South Terrace from time to time, upon prior notice to Tenant, in connection with Landlord’s marketing of the Building or of space within the Building, and (y) Landlord’s Event Rights (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) the exclusive use of that portion of the terrace outside the Penthouse Space located on the northerly side of the Building in the area delineated on Schedule O-2 annexed hereto (the “North Terrace”; together with the South Terrace, the “Terrace”) subject to the rights of Landlord to access the South Terrace from time to time, upon prior notice to Tenant, in connection with Landlord’s marketing of the Building or of space within the Building, as an outdoor seating and reception area for the officers, employees and business invitees of Tenant (or other permitted parties) in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease. The Terrace shall not be included in the rentable square footage of the Premises, and Tenant shall not be required to pay Fixed Rent or Escalation Rent for Tenant’s use of the Terrace. Accordingly, Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement of, or credit against, Fixed Rent or Escalation Rent for any condition affecting the Terrace (such as, by way of example only, a casualty to the Terrace or Tenant’s inability to access the Terrace). Any window washing rig on the roof or Terrace are to be installed and stored so as not to interfere with Tenant’s furniture and use of the Terrace. As used herein, the term “Landlord’s Event Rights” shall mean the right of Landlord and its designees (which may include other tenants or occupants of the Building) to access the South Terrace for up to five (5) events per calendar year, provided that: (i) with respect to each such event, Landlord shall provide at least two (2) weeks’ prior notice to Tenant that Landlord (for itself or its designee(s)) desires to use the South Terrace for an event, specifying the date and time and type of such event and (ii) such event shall be scheduled to occur after 6:00PM on a Business Day or on a day other than a Business Day. Landlord shall clean the South Terrace and repair any damage caused by such access and use after any such event at Landlord’s sole cost. Promptly after receipt of a notice from Landlord exercising Landlord’s Event Rights, Tenant shall confirm in writing to Landlord that the South Terrace is available for Landlord’s use on the scheduled date and time, the parties agreeing that the only reason for which Tenant may inform Landlord that the South Terrace is not available is if Tenant shall have scheduled its own event which would directly conflict with the date and time of Landlord’s event on the South Terrace prior to the date Tenant shall have received Landlord’s notice of exercise of Landlord’s Event Rights. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable documentation evidencing such conflict and make reasonable efforts to work with Landlord and any other parties scheduled to use the South Terrace during such time to agree upon an alternate timing agreeable to all parties so as to alleviate such conflict.

Section 41.2. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, in a condition compliant with the Certificate of Occupancy and the applicable code, install on the Terrace in accordance with the plans and specifications listed on Schedule R annexed hereto a railing, egress lighting, pavers and fire alarm (and provide connection thereof to the Building Class E System).

 

92


Section 41.3. Landlord shall deliver the Terrace to Tenant in its “as is” condition on the Commencement Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease. Except as expressly set forth in Section 41.2 hereof, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work or to contribute to the cost of any Alterations to prepare the Terrace for Tenant’s use. Tenant shall make no Alterations on or to the Terrace without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Terrace and the Building caused by Tenant.

Section 41.4. At all times during the Term, Landlord shall have access to the Terrace to service any Building equipment thereon and otherwise, all in accordance with Article 16 of this Lease.

Section 41.5. During the Term, Tenant shall comply, and shall cause any and all Persons Within Tenant’s Control, to comply with all of the terms, covenants and obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed pursuant to this Lease with respect to the Terrace as if the same were the Premises hereunder (it being agreed that the Terrace is not part of the Premises), provided, however, (i) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of Articles 12 and 33 of this Lease shall be applicable to the Terrace as if the same were the Premises hereunder; and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 15 of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to sublease the Terrace or allow the same to be used by others without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion (provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to sublease the exclusive use of the North Terrace and the non-exclusive use of the South Terrace in connection with a sublease of the entire Premises or a sublease of the entire Penthouse Space in accordance with Article 15 hereof).

ARTICLE 42

OPTION TO RENEW

Section 42.1. (A) Provided that both at the time of the exercise of the Renewal Option (as hereinafter defined) and at the time of the commencement of the Renewal Term: (i) this Lease shall be in full force and effect; (ii) there shall not then be existing an Event of Default under this Lease; and (iii) Tenant and/or its Permitted Transferee and its Special Occupants shall be in physical occupancy of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire rentable area of the Premises, Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the Term of this Lease (the “Renewal Option”), for a period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), on the terms of this Lease (except as set forth below). The Renewal Option shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) to Landlord given not later than twelve (12) months (with time being of the essence), prior to the Fixed Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 42.1, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may waive any default by Tenant or occupancy requirement and no such default or occupancy requirement may be used by Tenant to negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option.

 

93


(B) The Renewal Term shall constitute an extension of the Term of this Lease and shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as the existing Term, except that, (i) during the Renewal Term there shall be no further option to renew the Term of this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall not be required to furnish any materials or perform any work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s continued occupancy during the Renewal Term and Landlord shall not be required to reimburse Tenant for any Alterations made or to be made by Tenant during or in preparation for the Renewal Term, (iii) the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Fixed Rent payable by Tenant during the last year of the Term and (y) the Fair Rental Value of the Premises as of the first day of the Renewal Term, and (iv) on or prior to the first day of the Renewal Term, the final expiry date of the Letter of Credit held pursuant to Article 35 hereof shall be extended by sixty (60) months.

Section 42.2. If Tenant has given the Renewal Notice in accordance with Section 42.1, the parties shall endeavor to agree upon the Fair Rental Value of the Premises, as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Rental Value for the Renewal Term within one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the first day of the Renewal Term, then the same shall be determined as follows: A senior officer of a recognized New York City leasing brokerage firm (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) shall be selected and paid for jointly by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Baseball Arbitrator, then the same shall be designated by the AAA. The Baseball Arbitrator selected by the parties or designated by the AAA shall not have been employed by Landlord or Tenant during the previous five (5) year period and shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience in the leasing of Premises in the vicinity of the Building, comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises. As soon as reasonably practicable after the appointment of the Baseball Arbitrator, the Baseball Arbitrator shall meet with Landlord and Tenant (the “Initial Meeting”). At the Initial Meeting, Landlord shall submit to the Baseball Arbitrator its determination of the Fair Rental Value for the Renewal Term (“Landlord’s Maximum Determination”) in a sealed envelope contemporaneously with Tenant’s submission to the Baseball Arbitrator of its determination of the Fair Rental Value for the Renewal Term (“Tenant’s Maximum Determination”) in a sealed envelope, whereupon Baseball Arbitrator shall open both envelopes. If one party shall be ready, willing and able to submit its determination of the Fair Rental Value at such Initial Meeting, but the other party shall fail to submit its determination of the Fair Rental Value at such Initial Meeting, then the party who is so ready, willing and able to submit its determination shall not be required to do so, and the Initial Meeting shall be rescheduled to a date which is not more than three (3) Business Days following the Initial Meeting, at which rescheduled Initial Meeting the Baseball Arbitrator shall open both envelopes. If the party that was not ready, willing and able to submit its determination of the Fair Rental Value at the Initial Meeting shall not submit its determination of the Fair Rental Value at such rescheduled meeting, the determination of the party that was ready, willing and able to submit its determination at the Initial Meeting shall constitute the Fair Rental Value. If the higher of Landlord’s Maximum Determination and Tenant’s Maximum Determination (the “Higher Determination”) is not higher than the lower of Landlord’s Maximum Determination and Tenant’s Maximum Determination (the “Lower Determination”) by more than three (3%) percent of the Higher Determination, then the Baseball Arbitrator shall not make a determination as to the Fair Rental Value, and the Fair Rental Value shall equal the average of Landlord’s Maximum Determination and Tenant’s Maximum Determination. If the Higher Determination is higher than the Lower Determination by more than three (3%) percent of the Higher Determination, then the Baseball Arbitrator shall

 

94


make a determination of the Fair Rental Value by selecting either the amount set forth in Landlord’s Maximum Determination or the amount set forth in Tenant’s Maximum Determination, whichever the Baseball Arbitrator determines is closer to the Fair Rental Value, taking into account all relevant factors, whether favorable to Landlord or Tenant. The Baseball Arbitrator may not select any other amount as the Fair Rental Value and shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease. The determination of the Baseball Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant, whether or not judgment shall have been entered thereon, and shall serve as the basis for the Fixed Rent payable for the Renewal Term, and each of Landlord and Tenant hereby consents to the entry of judgment in any court having jurisdiction based upon such determination.

Section 42.3. If any dispute regarding the Fair Rental Value shall not have been resolved on or before the first day of the Renewal Term, then pending such resolution, Tenant shall pay, as Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, an amount equal to Landlord’s Maximum Determination. If such resolution shall be in favor of Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the final determination of Fair Rental Value for the Renewal Term, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment. After a determination has been made of the Fair Rental Value, the parties shall execute and deliver an instrument setting forth the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, but the failure to so execute and deliver any such instrument shall not affect the determination of such Fixed Rent in accordance with this Article 42.

Section 42.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Article 42 shall be personal to the Tenant named in this Lease (and its successor pursuant to a Permitted Transfer), and may not be assigned to any other Tenant.

ARTICLE 43

EXPEDITED ARBITRATION

Section 43.1. In any case where this Lease expressly provides for, or gives the option for, the settlement of a dispute or question by expedited arbitration pursuant to this Article 43, and only in such cases (and not in any case where other specific dispute resolution procedures are expressly provided for in this Lease, such as the dispute resolution procedures with respect to Fair Market Rent pursuant to Article 42), the party desiring arbitration shall have the right to submit any such dispute to binding arbitration in the City of New York, New York, under the Expedited Procedures provisions (Rules E-1 through E-10 in the edition in effect on the date of this Lease, as the same may be modified or supplemented from time to time) of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.

Section 43.2. In cases where such arbitration is used: (i) the parties will have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA and was not objected to in accordance with Rule E-5; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall be a person having not less than ten (10) years of experience in the subject matter of the dispute in first-class office buildings located in Manhattan; (ii) the first hearing shall be held within 7 Business Days after

 

95


the appointment of the arbitrator; and (iii) any finding or determination of the arbitrator shall be deemed final and binding (except that the arbitrator shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease, and shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease). The decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusively binding on the parties. Landlord and Tenant agree to sign all documents and to do all other things necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and further agree to, and hereby do, waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder. Landlord and Tenant each: (x) consent to the entry of judgment in any court upon any award or decision rendered in any arbitration held pursuant to this Article 43 or otherwise pursuant to this Lease; and (y) acknowledge that any award or decision rendered in any arbitration held pursuant to this Article 43 or otherwise pursuant to this Lease, whether or not such award or decision has been entered for judgment, shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

ARTICLE 44

INITIAL EXPANSION OPTION

Section 44.1. (A) Provided that on the date Tenant exercises the Initial Expansion Option (i) this Lease is in full force and effect and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the option (the “Initial Expansion Option”) to lease the entire rentable area of the ninth (9th) floor of the Building (the “Ninth Floor Premises”), as approximately shown on the floor plan annexed hereto as Schedule T, which Landlord and Tenant conclusively agree, without representation or warranty on the part of Landlord, contains 11,854 RSF (the “Initial Expansion Space”). The Initial Expansion Option shall be exercisable by Tenant giving Landlord notice thereof (the “Initial Expansion Notice”) on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days after the Stated Commencement Date. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Initial Expansion Notice. If Tenant fails timely to give an Initial Expansion Notice, then the Initial Expansion Option shall be null and void and Tenant shall have no further rights under this Article 44.

(2) Base Rent in respect of the Initial Expansion Space shall be payable at the rates set forth on Schedule D hereto with respect to the Initial Expansion Space;

(3) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, (i) Tenant shall receive an aggregate rent credit in the amount of $565,040.67, which amount shall be reduced by $2,354.34 for each day from the period commencing on the date of this Lease and ending on the date the Initial Expansion Notice is delivered to Landlord (such reduced amount, the “Aggregate Initial Expansion Space Rent Credit”), to be applied against the amounts of Fixed Rent due hereunder with respect to the Initial Expansion Space and (ii) the term “Aggregate Rent Credit” shall include the Aggregate Initial Expansion Space Rent Credit but shall be applied only to the Ninth Floor Premises Fixed Rent;

“(II) commencing on July 1, 2017, an amount (“Tenant’s Initial Tax Payment”) equal to (a) $30,561.00 (or $0.75 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2017/2018 Tax Year; (b) $61,122.00 (or $1.50 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2018/2019 Tax Year; (c) $91,683.00 for the 2019/2020 Tax Year (or $2.25 per RSF of the Premises); (d) $122,244.00 (or $3.00 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2020/2021 Tax Year; and (e) $152,805.00 (or $3.75 per RSF of the Premises) for the 2021/2022 Tax Year.”

(6) Section 3.2(B)(III) of this Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:

(7) Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant shall have exercised the Initial Expansion Option, Tenant shall increase the amount of the Security Deposit by the sum of $1,020,453.78 to reflect Tenant’s lease of the Initial Expansion Space. Such increase shall be effected by (i) Tenant exchanging a replacement Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of Article 35 in the increased total amount for the existing Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Issuing Bank delivering an amendment to the Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof (but which does not otherwise amend or modify same), which amendment Landlord shall promptly countersign or authorize in writing if required by the Issuing Bank;

(10) Landlord’s Maximum Contribution shall be increased by the addition of an amount derived by multiplying $711,240.00 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the Term with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises for which no portion of the Aggregate Initial Expansion Space Rent Credit is applied against the amounts of Fixed Rent due hereunder with respect to the Initial Expansion Space, and the denominator of which is one hundred twenty (120) but in no event shall Landlord’s Maximum Contribution exceed $711,240.00;

(11) Article 40 of this Lease shall be null and void in its entirety;

(12) With respect solely to the Initial Expansion Space, the term “Substantial Completion” shall refer solely to the Substantial Completion of the Initial Expansion Space and not to any other portion of the Premises;

(13) With respect solely to the application of the terms of the Work Agreement to the Initial Expansion Space:

(i) In Section I.B of the Work Agreement, (x) the date “November 15, 2015” shall be replaced in its entirety in all places in which it appears with the words “the date on which the Initial Expansion Notice is delivered to Landlord” and (y) the date “December 31, 2015” shall be replaced in its entirety in all places in which it appears with the words “the date which is forty-five (45) days after the date on which the Initial Expansion Notice is delivered to Landlord”

(ii) In Section II.C of the Work Agreement, the date “August 30, 2016” shall be replaced in its entirety in all places in which it appears with the words “the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the Initial Expansion Notice is delivered to Landlord”;

(iii) In Article V of the Work Agreement, the date “July 1, 2016” shall be replaced in its entirety with the words “such date as is reasonably determined by Landlord, written notice of which date is provided to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans”

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 44, Tenant shall have the right to elect in writing (such election, the “TIA Election”), concurrently with its delivery of the Initial Expansion Notice, to perform Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work (in lieu of having such work performed by Landlord) with respect only to the Ninth Floor Premises, and receive the amount of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution as a Tenant

 

98


Improvement Allowance on a progress payments basis as work is completed. Time is of the essence with respect to the TIA Election. If Tenant fails timely to make the TIA Election concurrently with its timely delivery of an Initial Expansion Notice, then Tenant shall no longer have the right to make the TIA Election, this Section 44.1(C) shall be null and void and Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises shall be performed in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 44.1(B)). If Tenant timely makes the TIA Election, the Work Agreement (and Section 44.1(B)(13) of this Lease) shall not apply with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises, and the following shall apply with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises:

(1) The definition of Ninth Floor Premises Commencement Date included in Article 1 of this Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor: ““Ninth Floor Premises Commencement Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is four (4) months after the date on which Landlord shall have tendered possession of the Ninth Floor Premises to Tenant and (ii) the first date on which Tenant or any Person claiming under or through Tenant first occupies the Ninth Floor Premises, for the conduct of its business.”

(2) All references in this Lease to Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work shall, with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises, be deemed to refer to the Initial Alterations (as hereinafter defined);

(3) Provided there has not occurred an Event of Default under this Lease, subject to the conditions set forth below, Landlord shall pay to Tenant a sum (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in connection with the Alterations to be made by Tenant for Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Ninth Floor Premises (the “Initial Alterations”) up to a maximum amount not to exceed the amount of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution with respect to the Ninth Floor Premises for those costs and expenses directly incurred by Tenant in connection with the actual costs of construction of the Initial Alterations, as shown on the approved plans and specifications referred to in Section 6.1 for such Initial Alterations. For purposes of the preceding sentence, actual costs of construction shall include both so called “hard” construction costs and so called “soft” costs for Tenant’s architectural, engineering and permitting and filing fees with respect only to the Ninth Floor Premises (collectively, “Soft Costs”), provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to fund more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for Soft Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, set forth herein the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall not be used for telephone systems, computer systems, furniture or decorations (other than carpeting, wall coverings and window blinds). Tenant shall submit to Landlord a line item budget (for Landlord’s review and approval) setting forth estimated construction costs in detail prior to commencement of the Initial Alterations;

(4) Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Landlord shall pay for such costs by paying the contractors, suppliers or consultants designated by Tenant or by reimbursing Tenant, at Tenant’s option, the Tenant Improvement Allowance from time to time, but no more frequently than in monthly installments, within thirty (30) days after, with respect to each such installment: (i) Landlord receives from Tenant a requisition for payment (in the form issued by the American Institute of Architects), certified by Tenant’s independent licensed architect stating (a) that, in his or her opinion, the portion of the Initial Alterations completed and for which the disbursement is requested was performed in a good and workerlike

 

99


manner and in accordance with Tenant’s plans and specifications, (b) the percentage of the Initial Alterations completed as of the date of such certificate, and (c) the revised estimated cost to complete the Initial Alterations; (ii) Landlord receives from Tenant proper invoices which are due and payable and original lien waivers for that portion of the Initial Alterations then completed; (iii) all Governmental Authorities having or asserting jurisdiction (including the Department of Buildings or similar agency) shall have issued final approvals of that portion of the Initial Alterations then completed, and true copies of such approvals shall have been delivered to Landlord; and (iv) Landlord receives from Tenant a written signed statement or request from an authorized officer of Tenant outlining in detail the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance already paid by Landlord and the amount then being requested in such installment, along with a certified statement by Tenant that the amount claimed is for reimbursement to the listed parties. Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance until the Initial Alterations are completed and approved by Landlord (and all documentation for this final installment are timely submitted and requirements met, as set forth below). Each requisition for payment of an installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance must be made by Tenant and received by Landlord (along with all required documentation and information set forth in this Section 44.1(C)(3)) no later than two (2) years after the Ninth Floor Premises Commencement Date. It is expressly understood and agreed that Tenant shall complete the Initial Alterations, whether or not the Tenant Improvement Allowance is sufficient to fund such completion, and in the event the cost of the Initial Alterations exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be responsible to pay all of such excess costs and expenses;

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 44.1(C), if, at the time any installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance is required to be made, Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, then Landlord may offset the amount of such arrearages against the installment due from Landlord under this Section 44.1(C);

(6) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 44.1(C), within thirty (30) days after the last to occur of (i) Tenant’s request for the final installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, (ii) completion of the Initial Alterations in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) delivery to Landlord of general releases and waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen involved in the performance of the Initial Alterations and the supply of materials used in connection with the Initial Alterations, (iv) a certificate from Tenant’s independent licensed architect certifying that (x) in his or her opinion the Initial Alterations has been performed in a good and workerlike manner and completed substantially in accordance with Tenant’s plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations, and (y) to his or her knowledge all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen have been paid for the Initial Alterations, and materials furnished through such date, and (v) satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth above in this Section 44.1(C), Landlord shall fund the balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which had been retained. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord’s obligation to pay the final installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall also be conditioned upon Tenant’s compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 44.1(C)(3) above;

 

100


(7) In no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the Initial Alterations ever exceed the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If the costs and expenses for the Initial Alterations are less than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, or if Tenant has not submitted a request for any installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance within the outside date set forth above, time being of the essence, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit for such excess or unused amounts; and

Section 44.2. After the exercise of the Initial Expansion Option, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the occurrence thereof by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant; provided, that failure by Landlord or Tenant to execute such instrument shall not affect the inclusion of the Initial Expansion Space in the Premises in accordance with this Article 44.

1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) Foreclosure Event. A “Foreclosure Event” means: (i) foreclosure under the Mortgage; (ii) any other exercise by Mortgagee of rights and remedies (whether under the Mortgage or under applicable law, including bankruptcy law) as holder of the Loan and/or the Mortgage, as a result of which a Successor Landlord becomes owner of the Property; or (iii) delivery by Landlord to Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) of a deed or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in the Property in lieu of any of the foregoing.

 

K-1


(b) Former Landlord. A “Former Landlord” means Landlord and any other party that was landlord under the Lease at any time before the occurrence of any attornment under this Agreement.

(c) Offset Right. An “Offset Right” means any right or alleged right of Tenant to any offset, defense (other than one arising from actual payment and performance, which payment and performance would bind a Successor Landlord pursuant to this Agreement), claim, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent or performance of Tenant’s other obligations under the Lease, arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.

(d) Rent. The “Rent” means any fixed rent, base rent or additional rent under the Lease.

(e) Successor Landlord. A “Successor Landlord” means any party that becomes owner of the Property as the result of a Foreclosure Event.

(f) Other Capitalized Terms. If the initial letter of any other term used in this Agreement is capitalized and no separate definition is contained in this Agreement, then such term shall have the same respective definition as set forth in the Lease.

2. Subordination. The Lease shall be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the terms of the Mortgage, the lien imposed by the Mortgage, and all advances made under the Mortgage provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the obligations of Landlord, as landlord under the Lease.

3. Nondisturbance, Recognition and Attornment.

(a) No Exercise of Mortgage Remedies Against Tenant. So long as the Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure periods (an “Event of Default”), Mortgagee shall not name or join Tenant as a defendant in any exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies arising upon a default under the Mortgage unless applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party thereto as a condition to proceeding against Landlord or prosecuting such rights and remedies. In the latter case, Mortgagee may join Tenant as a defendant in such action only for such purpose and not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights under the Lease or this Agreement in such action.

(b) Nondisturbance and Attornment. If an Event of Default by Tenant is not then continuing, then, when Successor Landlord takes title to the Property: (i) Successor Landlord shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement; (ii) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (iii) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (iv) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant. Tenant acknowledges notice of the Mortgage and assignment of rents, leases and profits from the Landlord to the Mortgagee. Tenant agrees to continue making payments of rents and other amounts owed by Tenant under

 

K-2


the Lease to the Landlord and to otherwise recognize the rights of Landlord under the Lease until notified otherwise in writing by the Mortgagee (as provided in the Mortgage), and after receipt of such notice the Tenant agrees thereafter to make all such payments to the Mortgagee, without any further inquiry on the part of the Tenant, and Landlord consents to the foregoing.

(c) Further Documentation. The provisions of this Article 3 shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents. Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article 3 in writing upon request by either of them within ten (10) days of such request.

4. Protection of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:

(a) Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment (except to the extent that such Offset Right is expressly set forth in the Lease and the Mortgagee or Successor Landlord has received notice of the same and an opportunity to cure the event giving rise thereto in accordance with the Lease and Article 6 below), including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment and provided that the foregoing shall not relieve Successor Landlord from and after the date of its succeeding as Landlord under such Lease of liability for any of its own acts or omissions which may also have constituted acts or omissions of the prior Landlord to the extent such act or omission is of a continuing nature relating to ongoing maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease, and Successor Landlord has received notice and a reasonable period of time to remedy the same.

(b) Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment.

(c) Payment; Security Deposit. Any obligation: (i) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, if any, shall have been delivered to Mortgagee by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise; (ii) with respect to any security deposited with Former Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to Mortgagee; (iii) to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Leased Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon, subject to Tenant’s Offset Rights in Section 4(a) above, provided that Successor Landlord shall have no obligation to perform such construction; (iv) to reconstruct or repair improvements following a fire, casualty or condemnation, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to its remedies under Article 13 and Article 14 of the Lease for Successor Landlord’s failure to do so, except that Successor Landlord shall not be required to make any payment to Tenant for any unused credit against Rental, which may be owed due to the Expiration Date occurring prior to the date that such credit is exhausted; or (v) to perform day-to-day maintenance and repairs; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Successor Landlord will perform the day to day maintenance and repair obligations of the Landlord under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Lease to the extent such obligations arise from and after the date that Successor Landlord becomes owner of the Property and Tenant attorns to such Successor Landlord as described above.

 

K-3


(d) Modification, Amendment or Waiver. Any modification or amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of the terms of the Lease, made without Mortgagee’s written consent, except to the extent such amendment is purely ministerial and entered into in connection with Tenant’s exercise of existing rights of renewal and expansion set forth in the Lease.

(e) Surrender, Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.

5. Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement, the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in the Leased Premises from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, security deposits, escrows, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Successor Landlord (collectively, the “Successor Landlord’s Interest”). Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord.

6. Notice to Mortgagee and Right to Cure. Tenant shall notify Mortgagee of any default by Landlord under the Lease that would give rise to a right by Tenant to terminate the Lease or abate rent under the Lease and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no such abatement shall be effective until Mortgagee has been given notice in accordance with Section 7(a) hereof, and no notice of cancellation thereof shall be effective unless Mortgagee shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation and (i) in the case of any such default that can be cured by the payment of money, until forty-five (45) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice or (ii) in the case of any other such default, until a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred and fifty (150) days, for remedying such default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Mortgagee shall have become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the same, including such time as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Property if possession is necessary to effect such cure, provided Mortgagee, with reasonable diligence, shall (a) pursue such remedies as are available to it under the Mortgage so as to be able to remedy the default, and (b) thereafter shall have commenced and continued to remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure any such default.

SCHEDULE M

WORK AGREEMENT

Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

LANDLORD’S INITIAL ALTERATIONS

A. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall furnish, install and perform in the Premises, all of the work (“Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work”) shown on the Final Plans (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, arranging for the expediter and third party inspector, except that Landlord shall not be required to expend any sums in excess of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution (as hereinafter defined) to the cost and expense of such work, it being agreed that all such costs and expenses in excess of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution shall be paid by Tenant as set forth in this Work Agreement.

B. Landlord shall engage Mancini Duffy (the “Architect”) and Edwards & Zuck (the “MEP Engineer”), to prepare the plans and specifications for Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 6 of this Lease (collectively, the “Final Plans”) at Tenant’s direction, and at Landlord’s cost and expense (subject to Landlord’s Maximum Contribution). Tenant shall cause the Architect (and the MEP Engineer, as applicable) to deliver to Landlord for review in accordance with Article 6 of this Lease, (i) preliminary architectural space plans which shall be complete on or prior to November 15, 2015 (“Preliminary Plans”) and (ii) a complete set of construction drawings (i.e., proposed Final Plans) on or prior to December 31, 2015 (it being agreed that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the coordination and planning of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work as set forth in this Work Agreement). If Landlord shall request any revisions to the Preliminary Plans or additional information to facilitate Landlord’s review thereof, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and cause the Architect (and the MEP Engineer, as applicable) to reflect such revisions in the proposed Final Plans and to deliver such information. From and after December 31, 2015, if Landlord shall request any revisions to the proposed Final Plans or additional information to facilitate Landlord’s review thereof, Tenant shall cause the Architect (and the MEP Engineer, as applicable) to perform such revisions or deliver such information, as applicable, in each case, within five (5) Business Days after written request. If (w) Tenant shall fail to submit the Preliminary Plans to Landlord by November 15, 2015, or (x) Tenant shall fail to submit the proposed Final Plans to Landlord by December 31, 2015, or (y) more than one (1) set of revisions shall be required to the proposed Final Plans, or (z) or any re-submission of the proposed Final Plans or information required in connection with Landlord’s review of the proposed Final Plans shall not be submitted by Tenant within five (5) Business Days after the later of (I) December 31, 2015 and (II) the date of Landlord’s written request, then any such delay set forth in clauses (w) through (z) may in accordance with Article 1 of this Lease constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder.

 

M-1


C. After Landlord shall have approved the Final Plans for Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work in accordance with Article 6 of this Lease and this Schedule M, (i) Landlord shall engage Archstone Builders LLC (the “General Contractor”) as the general contractor in

connection with the performance of Landlord’s Initial Alterations and (ii) Landlord shall solicit (or shall cause the General Contractor to solicit) with input from Tenant provided that Tenant shall make its representative reasonably available for such purpose, a minimum of three (3) bids for each trade estimated by Landlord to cost in excess of Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), except that in the case of the following trades, Landlord will solicit at least five (5) bids: electrical, mechanical, dry wall and ceilings, and sprinklers. Landlord shall keep Tenant apprised regarding the status of the bid process (which shall be an open book process) and Landlord shall instruct each bidder to submit its bid by email to Landlord and Tenant simultaneously. Landlord and Tenant shall “level” the bids together, provided that Tenant shall make its representative reasonably available for such purpose. Within a reasonable period of time after the bids for Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work have been received, the Landlord shall compile and propose a lump sum fixed price (the “Lump Sum Fixed Price”) to perform Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, guaranteeing the cost of the Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, and Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof (the “Bid Result Notice”). In calculating the Lump Sum Fixed Price, the Landlord shall take into account (i) the lowest responsible bids received by Landlord (or its construction manager or the General Contractor) for each trade, which can meet the schedule for completion on a non-premium time basis, plus (ii) the General Contractor’s best estimate for trade items and miscellaneous items not yet bid plus reasonable allowances for work items which are required but not quantifiable, plus (iii) any other construction costs that are not included in clauses (i) and (ii) such as costs of construction material, construction equipment, construction labor, permits allowance, final cleaning, temporary protection, plus (iv) all design and construction related Soft Costs, including, without limitation, architectural and engineering fees (but excluding the review of Tenant’s drawings by Landlord’s architect and engineer), permitting and filing fees, expediter fees, code consultant fees and special inspection fees (collectively, “Design and Construction Soft Costs”), (v) a contingency in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate costs set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, plus (vi) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate costs set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above (but excluding (iv)), which amount shall constitute the cost of the General Contractor’s overhead, including but not limited to, project executive, project manager, project engineer, field superintendent, administrative, accounting, insurance (which constitutes 2% of the 10% overhead, and is calculated on the total project cost), reproduction cost, courier expenses, safety program, cell phones, clean up labor, dumpsters, the cost of using the outside hoist during the construction of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and any and all customary overhead costs, plus (vii) a construction management fee in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the aggregate of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) herein (but excluding (iv)), plus (viii) a Landlord project management fee equal to four percent (4%) of hard costs and soft costs, provided that in no event shall such Landlord project management fee exceed a sum equal to $40,000.00. The Lump Sum Fixed Price delivered by Landlord to Tenant shall include reasonable detail of the manner in which the Landlord calculated the Fixed Lump Sum Price based on clauses (i) through (viii) above; any unused contingency fee per clause (v) above shall accrue to Tenant’s benefit. In connection with the use of contingency fee pursuant to clause (v) above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with documentation and information reasonably requested by Tenant (a) to evaluate and verify any such costs; (b) to demonstrate that such costs are reasonably necessary to complete the Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work; and (c) to demonstrate that such costs are a legitimate charge against the contingency pursuant to the requirements of Landlord’s agreement with the General Contractor.

 

M-2


D. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred with respect to Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, any Additional Work (as hereinafter defined), and the payment of any Soft Costs (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Sum of Landlord’s Costs”) shall not exceed the amount of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses in excess of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution in accordance with Article II of this Work Agreement.

ARTICLE II

EXCESS COSTS; ADDITIONAL WORK

A. Within three (3) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Bid Result Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, prior to the commencement of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work, the amount by which the Fixed Lump Sum Price exceeds Landlord’s Maximum Contribution (the “Excess Work Cost”), it being agreed that such payment shall be reconciled by Landlord and Tenant upon the completion of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and any Additional Work to be performed in accordance with this Schedule M. If Tenant fails to pay the Excess Work Cost within three (3) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Bid Result Notice (with time being of the essence), such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder.

B. If, subsequent to the approval of the Final Plans, Tenant shall request Landlord to perform additional work in the Premises (exclusive of Landlord’s Base Building Work), or if Tenant shall request to substitute work or materials for those items reflected in the approved Final Plans and Fixed Lump Sum Price (any such requested additional work or changes, “Additional Work”), then Landlord shall cause the General Contractor to estimate reasonably the cost of such Additional Work (including without limitation, any architectural and engineering fees and any cost of permits, filing fees and Landlord’s expediter, plus all such fees as set forth in Section I.C of this Work Agreement in connection with such Additional Work) (collectively, “Construction Change Fees”)) and advise Tenant of such estimate (the “Post-Bid Estimate”). Tenant shall either promptly approve or withdraw its request for all or part of the Additional Work so estimated. If Tenant fails to approve or withdraw any request for Additional Work within three (3) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a Post-Bid Estimate, Tenant shall be deemed to have disapproved such Additional Work and the Post-Bid Estimate therefor, Landlord shall have no responsibility to cause such Additional Work to be performed. If Tenant approves any Additional Work after receipt of a Post-Bid Estimate therefor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, prior to the commencement of the applicable Additional Work, the amount by which the Post-Bid Estimate exceeds (or further exceeds) Landlord’s Maximum Contribution (the “Excess Additional Work Cost”), it being agreed that such payment shall be reconciled by Landlord and Tenant upon the completion of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and all Additional Work to be performed in accordance with this Schedule M. If Tenant fails to pay the Excess Additional Work Cost simultaneously with its approval of the applicable Additional Work (i.e., within three (3) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Post-Bid Estimate therefor, with time being of the essence), such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder.

C. If, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment, any items of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work or Additional Work shall involve ordering of materials or products which must be specially fabricated to order and thus will prevent Landlord’s Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work by August 30, 2016, then Landlord may

 

M-3


require Tenant to agree that, so long as Landlord’s Base Building Work is substantially completed by such later date as is reasonably determined by Landlord, written notice of which date is provided to Tenant within a reasonable time after such materials or products are ordered, the Commencement Date shall be August 30, 2016 as a condition to Landlord’s approval of such items of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work or Additional Work.

D. Landlord shall, or shall cause its General Contractor to, send to Tenant for its information only a copy of all requisitions for payment submitted by the General Contractor to Landlord.

ARTICLE III

TENANT’S AUTHORIZED AGENT(S)

The Architect shall be deemed an agent of Tenant duly authorized to bind and act for Tenant in all respects.

ARTICLE IV

TENANT DELAY; ADVANCEMENT OF COMMENCEMENT DATE

To the extent there is a Tenant Delay, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Premises (and Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and Landlord’s Base Building Work shall be deemed to have been Substantially Completed therein) on the date the Premises would have been available for delivery to Tenant with such work Substantially Completed but for the duration of such Tenant Delay, even if work to be done by Landlord has not been commenced or completed.

ARTICLE V

TENANT’S INSTALLATIONS

Upon Tenant’s reasonable advance request therefor, which request may be made verbally to Landlord’s property management team, Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date from time to time solely for purposes of conducting customary pre-Commencement Date activities, such as taking or preparation of measurements, surveys, elevations, sketches and layouts; it being understood, however, that (i) Tenant shall not have the right to enter the Premises as aforesaid unless Tenant is accompanied by a designated representative of Landlord at all times during such entry (it being agreed that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a designated representative to accompany Tenant as contemplated herein), and (ii) during any period in which Tenant is in the Premises, (x) Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Lease (and the same shall be deemed to apply during such period), including, without limitation, Article 12 thereof, other than the obligation to pay Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent, (y) Tenant shall not interfere with the operation of the Building or interfere with or delay Landlord’s performance of and completion of Landlord’s Work, and (z) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage to Tenant’s materials left at the Premises during the performance of Landlord’s Work. In addition, on or prior to July 1, 2016 (such date, subject to extension by up to one week due to construction scheduling and subject to further extension on a day-for-day basis by Tenant Delay and Unavoidable Delay, the “Early Access Date”), Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Premises (“Early Access”) for the purposes of performing any installations or other work, including, without limitation, any installation of furniture and data and telecommunications wiring and cabling, which are not to be performed by Landlord for Tenant hereunder (collectively, “Tenant’s Installations”), provided that the following terms and conditions shall apply to such Early Access:

Tenant’s right to Early Access to perform Tenant’s Installations shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Tenant’s Installations shall not require any structural changes to the Premises or the Building (or, if a structural change is required, Landlord shall have consented thereto in accordance with Article 6 of this Lease); (ii) Landlord’s Base Building Work, Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and any Additional Work required to be made and performed by Landlord in the Premises shall have reached a point with respect to which, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the performance of Tenant’s Installations can then be performed or made safely without delaying or hampering Landlord in the completion of such work; (iii) such Early Access shall be subject to Tenant’s coordination with Landlord’s construction schedule and compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease to which this Work Agreement is annexed, including without limitation, Articles 6, 12 and 33 thereof.

B. Prior to the Commencement Date, any Early Access by Tenant in or on the Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole risk. Tenant’s Installations shall be completed free of all liens and encumbrances. Tenant’s Installations shall include, without limitation, access by Tenant’s telephone, cable and other information technology contractors, subject to Article 12 and Article 33 of the Lease to which this Work Agreement is annexed.

C. In the event Tenant or any agent or contractor of Tenant shall enter upon the Premises or any other part of the Building, then, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors or representatives, Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all claims whatsoever arising out of said entry or any work performed by such contractor. Tenant’s agents, contractors and their employees shall comply with the special rules, regulations and requirements of Building management for the performance of work and coordination of said agents, contractors and their employees so as to minimize the intrusion into the operation of the Building and the business operation of other tenants.

D. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish any furniture, furnishings or other personal property or telecommunications or audiovisual equipment to the Premises.

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENT OF FFE COSTS

Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Landlord shall pay for “FFE” costs for Tenant’s furniture installation and voice and data cabling (collectively, “FFE Costs”), provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to fund more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution for the sum total of the Design and Construction Soft Costs and FFE Costs (collectively, “Soft Costs”), and provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to fund any payment for Soft Costs which would cause

the Sum of Landlord’s Costs to exceed Landlord’s Maximum Contribution. Landlord shall pay for such FFE Costs by paying the suppliers and/or consultants designated by Tenant or by reimbursing Tenant, at Tenant’s option, for such FFE Costs, from time to time, but no more frequently than in monthly installments, within thirty (30) days after, with respect to each such installment, Landlord receives a written signed statement or request from an authorized officer of Tenant outlining in detail the amount of the Soft Costs already paid by Landlord and the amount then being requested in such installment, along with a certified statement by Tenant that the amount claimed is for reimbursement to the listed parties and accompanied by proper invoices which are due and payable. Each such requisition for payment of such an installment must be made by Tenant and received by Landlord (along with all required documentation and information set forth in this Article VI) no later than two (2) years after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if, at the time any installment of the Soft Costs is required to be made, Tenant is in default in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent after the expiration of applicable notice and grace periods, then Landlord may offset the amount of such arrearages against the installment due from Landlord under this Article VI.

ARTICLE VII

UNUSED PORTION OF LANDLORD’S MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION

Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, if, after the completion of all of Landlord’s Initial Alterations Work and Additional Work and the payment of all costs of such work and the payment of all Soft Costs, the amount of the Sum of Landlord’s Costs is less than the amount of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution, Tenant shall have the right to apply the lesser of (x) the amount by which Landlord’s Maximum Contribution exceeds the Sum of Landlord’s Costs and (y) $176,857.08, as a credit against installments of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Except as set forth in this Article VII, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit for any amounts by which Landlord’s Maximum Contribution exceeds the Sum of Landlord’s Costs.

ARTICLE VII
